FIELD CORROSION TEST ON PIPING MATERIALS IN A CARGO OIL TANKER

Stress corrosion tests have been made for two years in a cargo oil tanker carrying crude oil from the Mid-East. The specimens used in this test were prepared from copper, copper alloys including Albrac (modified aluminum brass), 90-10 cupronickel, 70-30 cupronickel, AP-1 bronze and AP-2 bronze, nickel-copper alloy (Monel) and 18-8 stainless steel. From the stress corrosion test, the susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking in the environment of cargo tank was noticed on Albrac and 18-8 stainless steel. From the fact that the specimen holders made from titanium showed no sign of corrosion, titanium is considered to be immune to the corrosion in this application.
