Investigation of the accelerated corrosion of cupro-nickel piping
Abstract
The accelerated corrosion (erosion) of 70/30 cupro-nickel
alloy was investigated as a function of environment using
a laboratory recirculation loop. The environments utilized
were unpolluted artificial sea water and artificial sea
water polluted with sulfides (Na2S) and two different levels
of ammonium ion (NH^Cl) . The use of ferrous sulfate
(FeSO,) as an inhibitor was also briefly examined.
