“…Depending on tube material, the failures may result from H 2 S or NH 3 polluted seawater (Beccaria et al, ting attack (Shams El Din and Mohammed, 1998;Al-Malahy and Hodgkiess, 2003;El-Dahshan et al, 2003). However, in the same marine environment, the corrosion resistance of Cu-Ni alloy is concerned with chemical composition, microstructure, original surface film and residual stress (Constantinides et al, 2002;Yuan and Pehkonen, 2007;Lin and Zhao, 2000;Yin and Li, 2005). It is well known that the bright annealing is the last production process for manufacturing Cu-Ni alloy tube, thus it can be considered that annealing treatments after cold drawing play an important role on the levels of microstructure and properties of Cu-Ni alloy.…”
