Abstract

Accelerated corrosion and premature failure of copper-nickel seawater piping has recently become a problem in naval ships operating in polluted seawater. Consequently, the corrosion rates of copper alloys 706 (90:10 Cu:Ni) and 715 (70:30 Cu:Ni) were measured, using rotating cylinder specimens in seawater tht contained oxygen, sulfide, sulfur, and polysulfide, either singly or in combination. In addition a control test was performed using unpolluted deaerated seawater.
