Abstract
Corrosion of carbon steel and copper base alloys, such as aluminum brass, 90/10 cupro-nickel and 70/30cupro-nickel, in aerated and deaerated sea water and brine at different temperatures, is described. General corrosion in copper base alloys in aerated and deaerated sea water and brine is shown to be low, even up to the maximum temperatures at present in use. Particular attention is paid to unsual conditions which may lead to failure, such as local turbulence, polluted sea water, fouling and hot-spot corrosion. The material problems in pumps and other components of desalination plants, and data on high velocity jet tests on pump materials are described.
