Studies in the corrosion of some non‐ferrous alloys in 3% sodium chloride solution

The influence of variables such as temperature, agitation, oxygenation on the corrosion of aluminium, copper, nickel base alloys in 3% NaCI solution has been studied by electrochemical and weight loss measurements. It has been observed that the corrosion process is under cathodic control for all the alloys studied. Some nickel and aluminium base alloys merit consideration as a substitute for ferrous alloys in salt water under conditions similar to those reported in this paper.
