Influence of Temperature on Corrosion Product Film Formation on CuNi10Fe in the Low Temperature Range: I. Corrosion rate as a function of temperature in well aerated sea water

Intergranular precipitation of copper-nickel alloys induced by seawater corrosion

“…Although the two Cu alloy tubes have been manufactured in China for more than 40 years, the quality and the corrosion resistance of the materials made by different plants are significantly different. In order to find the reason of the problem induced, a lot of research work has been conducted and a great number of articles have been published [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .…”

“…The common understanding is that Ni and Fe enrichment phenomenon occurred on the surface film when the alloy was immersed in seawater and corrosion process occurred [4][5][6] . Quality of the corrosion product film formation was influenced by the flowing rate, temperature, pollution of the seawater as well as the quality of the original surface condition of the alloys [6][7][8][9][10] . The effect of carbon residual film on localized corrosion behavior of copper alloys was thoroughly studied as an important case with the influence of corrosion product film in corrosion resistance of the alloys [11,12] .…”
