Abstract

Suspended solids increase the rate of corrosion and decrease the resistance of a modified Al-2.5Mg alloy to pitting in Arabian Gulf water. It has been shown by electrochemical studies that the pitting potential of the alloy shifts to more negative values in the presence of suspended solids. The rate of mass transfer and the limiting current is significantly increased by suspended particles.
