MARINE CORROSION OF CAST AND WROUGHT NON-FERROUS METALS RESULTS OF SIXTEEN YEARS EXPOSURE IN THE TROPICS

This report will present the 16-yr results for all wrought and cast nonferrous metals exposed in three marine environments. Data from freshwater immersion are included for purposes of comparison. Waters and atmosphere of Panama have been collected because tropical exposures have the advantage of producing slightly higher corrosion rates than normally accrue from temperate latitudes. Results of tests are tabulated.
