SEA WATER CORROSION OF 90-10 AND 70-30 CU-NI: 14 YEAR EXPOSURES
Fourteen year data for 90-10 and 70-30 cupronickel alloys exposed in sea water at the F. L. LaQue Corrosion Laboratory, Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina are reported. Corrosion rates for both alloys in quiet and flowing as well as in the tidal zone tended to become linear after the first 4 years' exposure. Initially, corrosion rates for 90-10 tended to be much higher in flowing than in either quiet or tidal zone exposures, but at 14 years, rates in all environments were about the same, 0.05 mils per year. Similarly, 70-30 had high initial rates in flowing water, but at 14 years, rates were about the same for all three exposures, 0.03 to 0.08 mils per year. /Author/
