Abstract
In the presence of excess oxygen the corrosion rate of copper is a linear function of hydrogen ion concentration for each of three anions . The rate is not a simple function of anion concentration, and the concentration dependence varies with pH. The effect of is negligible. The temperature dependence of the rate, at constant oxygen concentration, for both chloride and sulfate solutions, is The corrosion rate of copper in open solutions saturated with air goes through a maximum in the range 71°–77°C.
