Abstract
The localised-corrosion behaviour of several high-grade materials has been investigated in a range of conditions of relevance to desalination plant. Under the conditions studied, no evidence has been found of pitting, crevice corrosion or stress-corrosion cracking in titanium. The remaining materials, all chromium -containing, have exhibited similar immunity as titanium in the least aggressive environments but, to an extent depending upon the material and conditions, they have been found to be susceptible to pitting and crevice corrosion in the more severe conditions featured in this work. The relevance of the observations to distillation-plant operation is discussed.
