CORROSION OF MATERIALS IN HYDROSPACE PART 4 - COPPER AND COPPER ALLOYS

Abstract

A total of 1050 specimens of 46 different copper alloys were exposed at two depths, 2,500 and 6,000 feet, in the Pacific Ocean for periods of time varying from 123 to 1064 days in order to determine the effects of deep ocean environments on their corrosion resistance. Corrosion rates, types of corrosion, pit depths, stress corrosion cracking resistance, changes in mechanical properties and analyses of corrosion products of the alloys are presented.
