DEVELOPMENT OF CORROSION-RESISTANT MATERIAL FOR MARINE PUMPS

In order to forestall premature breakdowns of marine pumps, five pumps with impellers made of different metals were run continuously for about a year. Superb corrosion resistance was exhibited by Mo-austenitic stainless steel and duplex stainless steel as compared with bronze. Although a stainless steel casing suffered crevice corrosion, this was readily remedied by application of a suitable sealing. When stainless steel was used either for the impeller or for the casing, parts such as the mouthring that were made of bronze were damaged severely by galvanic corrosion. On the basis of those findings, a way was seen that will lead to development of a "maintenance-free" marine pump.
