CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN SEAWATER

THE RESULTS OBTAINED ON HEAVY SECTIONS OF MANY ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN NATURAL SEAWATER AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME ARE PRESENTED. THE SPECIMENS INCLUDED PLATES, EXTRUSIONS, AND PIPES, WITH SOME SPECIMENS CONTAINING WELDS AND CREVICES. TWO TESTS WERE MADE WITH SEAWATER FLOWING THROUGH ALUMINIUM PIPE. THE RESULTS OBTAINED ARE COMPREHENSIVE IN NATURE AND CAN BE USED AS THE BASIS FOR CHOICE OF ALUMINIUM ALLOYS, AND THE DESIGN OF MARINE STRUCTURES TO BE IMMERSED IN, OR TO CARRY SEAWATER.
