The resulting corrosion occurs adjacent to the crevice, and tends to be shallow in nature. Table 1 lists the copper-base alloys commonly used in marine service. ions, YOKOTA Self-Priming Centrifugal This is not only to protect the fittings but also to achieve optimum biofouling resistance of the copper-nickel, as will be discussed later. The CFSs of large, slowly cooled propeller alloy castings were determined in a Metals Properties Council program and are given in Table 6.8 Since these CFSs were measured at zero mean stress, they must be adjusted downward when the mean tensile stresses are substantial. In addition, during an hydrotest, the temperature of the steel can dramatically increase under the effect of sun and reach relatively high temperatures.

Exposure to sulfides should be restricted wherever possible and particularly during the first few months of contact with seawater while the oxide film is maturing. Although the 70:30 copper-nickel alloy has somewhat greater resistance to inlet-end erosion/corrosion in condensers and heat exchangers, 90:10 copper-nickel is more resistant at the higher velocities encountered by ship hulls. This however, is more suited to maintaining a protective layer than initial oxide film formation and will also reduce the biofouling resistance as will be explained in the next section. The higher corrosion rate in aerated waters is due to the change from hydrogen reduction to oxygen reduction as the primary cathodic reaction. CFS is an important characteristic of both cast and wrought alloys used in pumps, piping, and heat exchangers in deep diving submersibles, undersea equipment, and certain oil production activities. This article featured in Australian Stainless magazine - Issue 6, October 1996. Ferrara and Gudas found similar relationships in other tests in which high-velocity seawater was allowed to flow over the top and bottom surfaces of flat specimens, a parallel flow test. Austenitic stainless steel is the most common corrosion-resistant metal on the market. The most common metal fasteners used to combat salt water corrosion are titanium (Grades 2 and Grade 5) and Monel (alloy 400 and K500). Copper-nickel alloys are not susceptible to chloride or sulfide stress corrosion cracking or hydrogen embrittlement, and unlike brasses have not been found to suffer cracking due to ammonia in seawater service. In the complete absence of oxygen, corrosion rates are low as indicated by point 1 and current i1 and remained low up to sulfide concentrations as high as 55g/m(3) and velocities of 5m/s. Although if exposure to known polluted water is going to occur (e.g. It is generally thought that the 70-30 copper-nickel alloy has less biofouling resistance than the 90-10 alloy, having a lower copper content, but this is not always borne out in practice. Copper-nickel alloys lie mid-way in the galvanic series being compatible with other copper alloys but more noble than zinc, aluminium, steel and aluminium bronze and less noble than passivated stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium. Sponsored by NACE, Metallic Coatings for Corrosion Control of Marine Structures. Grade 304 is very durable but not as corrosion-resistant as 316. Water itself is corrosive to many materials (aqueous corrosion), but seawater is especially damaging due to its high salt concentration, which exacerbates corrosion. S32750 offers even higher strength and weight savings, and can handle all marine applications with no risk of corrosion even in tropical waters and hot, wet exhaust applications. The maximum corrosion rate was measured at 0.013mm/yr and no evidence of fouling was found on the copper-nickel even though it was present on the rest of the steel hull. . Alloy C-276 also exhibits resistance to corrosion by seawater in crevice conditions, which can induce aggressive attack in other commonly used materials. Fisheries research institutes, Food processing plants, Salt manufacturing plants, Test results: Amount of damage due to corrosion, Test results: Amount of damage due to corrosion and wear. In aerated waters, corrosion rates are somewhat higher, referring to the line AB and current i2. This has also been confirmed from more recent trials at Langstone Harbour, UK, by IMI Yorkshire Alloys Ltd, which not only showed the ease that the fouling could be wiped away but also the ease with which fouling could be removed compared with steel even when cathodic protection was applied and a sizeable fouling build up had occurred on the test panels6. Most copper alloys can be coupled to each other without greatly accelerating the corrosion that would otherwise occur in the absence of coupling. Even as established alloys, knowledge of copper-nickel alloys evolves further as new applications arise, appreciation of corrosion analysis and monitoring progresses, manufacturing techniques change and engineers new to the product provide different perspectives. The copper-nickel layer is insulated from the metal substrate by a fibreglass, polyurethane or rubber backing and the markers can be bonded, strapped, bolted or clipped into position. The three most common types in marine applications are UNS S32304 (commonly known as 2304), UNS S31803 (2205) and UNS S32750 (2507)* and of these the most common is S31803. The current industry standard, however, is grade 316 (UNS S31600/S31603 - commonly termed "marine grade" stainless) which offers a solution to around 90% of marine applications. G. A. Gehring, Jr., J. R. Mauer, CORROSION/81, Paper No. Powell and H.T.

The film is adherent, protective, and generally brown or greenish-brown in color. When formed, this provides a high degree of corrosion protection to subsequent sulfides. 1) Sea water: Seawater is water from a sea or ocean. In polluted waters where both oxygen and sulfide may be present under transient conditions, the cathodic reaction is still oxygen reduction with a much higher corrosion rate, referring to point 2 and current i4. Thus, there must be some antifouling effects in close proximity to copper-nickel. Our products have already been used to replace poor performing materials in coastal . With increasing seawater flow rate, corrosion rates remain low due to the resilience of the protective surface film. 304 may be used for fully exposed components, frequently washed with fresh water; 316 may be used for all hull and deck fitting applications above the water line; S31803 offers higher strength and, therefore, lighter weight components for the same applications as 316 and can additionally be used up to 60C in wet exhaust systems and in fully submersed applications; and. Other pretreatment chemicals have been studied(22) or used(23) with variable success. 04139. The material presented in this publication has been prepared for the general information of the reader and should not be used or relied on for specific applications without first securing competent advice. Figure 3(18) examines the behaviour of 90-10 copper nickel in aerated and sulfide polluted waters. Group 3-These metals have some degree of cavitation resistance but are generally limited to low speed, low performance type applications. This reduces the frequency of cleaning of piping systems and condensers, and decreases wave loading and fouling removal costs for platform structures. Box 204, Blacksburg, VA 24060. At the end of the two years, the conventionally coated steel hull had a roughness of 250m, whereas the corresponding roughness of the copper-nickel was only 53m. Seawater velocity also had a substantial effect on the degree of fouling resistance of the copper-nickel foil. Cumbersome cathodic protection techniques, unanticipated maintenance costs, along with reliability of equipment, safety to personnel, and environmental concerns are leading to a wider use of higher performance nickel-based alloys . Distilled, Lab. Many things affect the salinity including evaporation (increasing saline levels), precipitation (decreasing), and dilution (decreasing). Indirectly, this shows that the maturity of the protective film reduced the corrosion rate of the condenser surface. An evaluation programme on the performance of the foil sheathing commenced in August1993 with two commercial passenger ferries, the MV Koru and the MV Osprey; both of which are in-service around Auckland Harbour, New Zealand(17). Aluminum metal. and Ocean Eng. Therefore, diffident kinds of copper alloys are suggested for use in the marine industry. The diagram above shows that crevice corrosion can be expected in grade 316 at temperatures above 10-15C in seawater, thus making it unsuitable for immersed applications where crevices exist. These are copper base alloys with either 10% or 30% of nickel, and are described as 90-10 and 70-30 copper-nickel respectively. Localised corrosion in seawater. International Desalination Association (IDA); Cencro de Estudios y Expertmerocion de Obras Pubiicas (CEDEX); Ministerio de Medio Ambiente; Ministerio de Formento; Madrid, Spain. The biofouling mass accumulated on the bare steel piling is more than twice as great as that on direct welded copper-nickel, whether or not it was cathodically protected, and more than 20 times that attached to insulated sheathing. The hull had stayed free from fouling with the propeller and the steel front keel being the only places where some mussels had been observed. Malik. As the diameter increases, copper-base alloys will tolerate higher nominal velocities in the piping system. The processing ensures that the granules are distributed and exposed over the surface such that about 30% of the surface is copper-nickel and each granule is close enough to its neighbour to allow complete surface protection(25,28). Pub. As gray cast iron pumps require a lot of maintenance, the 33, No. In the latter situation, ammonia concentrations may reach high levels in the air removal sections of condensers. It was in the 1970's that observations at Wrightsville Beach suggested the surface film itself was largely responsible for the biofouling resistance and that when freely corroding and under quiet conditions, the oxide film would gradually convert to cupric hydroxychloride(3). Useful under supercavitating conditions. Copper-nickel alloys also have good inherent resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. where deposits are not removed from tubing, the remedy is proper scheduled cleaning. This makes it more resistant to salt. Denickelification or hot spot corrosion has been encountered occasionally in the 70-30 copper-nickel alloy in refinery overhead condenser service, where hydrocarbon streams condense at temperatures above 150C. The LPBF-AZ111 alloy revealed limited corrosion in appearance even with immersion in seawater and NaCl electrolyte for 14 days. The area within the crevice becomes more noble than either the mouth of the crevice or the adjacent exposed region. Grades 304 and 316 are austenitic (300 series) stainless steels due to their metallurgical structure (austenite) which gives them excellent ductility, good strength, non-magnetic properties, good weldability and very good corrosion resistance. Ship propellers, deep diving submersibles, undersea equipment, and certain pumps are subject to corrosion fatigue. Strongwell offers an established range of fiberglass structural materials that are broadly resistant to the corrosive effects of seawater of average and above average salinity. The invention relates to a seawater corrosion resistant cable material which comprises, by weight, 80-120 parts of chloroprene rubber, 45-60 parts of modified polytetrafluoroethylene, 22-30 parts of ammonium polyphosphate, 15-25 parts of nano carbon black, 10-18 parts of soybean oil, 5-10 parts of talcum powder, 8-15 parts of potassium titanate whisker, 30-35 parts of phenolic resin, 10-16 .

Met. Little or no damage. Sheets of the composite are press cured and can be then cut to the required sizes, slit to strip, or even rejoined to form continuous tapes up to 50m long. Sand loadings of less than 200ppm rarely damage good protective films on copper-nickel alloys. It has an increased molybdenum and manganese content, which gives the metal corrosion protection and higher strength. The application is a shaft of a linear actuator used in a saltwater spray environment (aft deck of a ship).

More detailed examinations are required to explain this. For straight splash zone corrosion protection, the copper -nickel is usually welded into position as for the Morecambe Field. Ferrous sulfate treatment(20,21) has been found to suppress corrosion rates of copper-nickel in seawater in both polluted and unpolluted conditions. Also, long-term trials in support of the Morecambe Field platforms have shown that although biofouling will occur when cathodic protection is applied, some biofouling resistance is retained(26). As a result, applications where there are hot engines, processes or locations in tropical areas will see a higher rates of corrosion. The 70-30 alloys have somewhat greater tolerance for sand. While aluminium is light, it has limited corrosion resistance in seawater and requires significant maintenance. Paint Solvent. Three materials are investigated: UNS N08904 . A third was moored in polluted water showing no signs of biological activity. Alloy C44300, Admiralty, was in the group characterized by a decreasing corrosion rate with time. The severe tubesheet corrosion that followed led to studies that showed that the effective cathodic area was many times larger than had been supposed, approaching a 1000:1 cathode-to-anode ratio.11 Copper alloy tubesheets require a carefully designed cathodic protection system when using titanium or SS tubes. F. M. Reinhard, "Corrosion of Materials in Hydrospace Part IC Copper and Copy Alloys," Tech. Velocities as high as 120 ft./sec. when entering port) a reasonable additional precaution would be to add 5ppm ferrous sulfate for one hour per day during the three days prior to entering while in and after leaving port. Alloy 825 (Incoloy 825) is a nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum alloy designed to resist general corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion, as well as stress corrosion cracking (SCC), in a wide range of media. Cast Metals for Structural and Pressure Containment Applications, 1979 Metals Properties Council11, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York, NY. If cost is no. For an active-passive material like nickel, Monel or stainless steels Figure 2 shows an initial higher corrosion rate at low flow velocities due to localized corrosion, often due to oxygen differential concentration cells and/or a build-up of aggressive ions such as chlorides. Conf., INCO Tech. Duplex steels also offer good corrosion protection to chlorides, including high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, as well as pitting and crevice corrosion. The experience on MV Koru and the MV Osprey showed that green algae (slime) formed predominantly on the copper-nickel foil at, or just below the waterline on both vessels. The solution has been to remove deposits which lead to the hot spots either by more frequent cleaning or by increasing flow rates(6). The corrosion product film forms very quickly when clean; unfilmed copper or copper alloys are first wetted by seawater. Resistance to Corrosion Alloy 20 has very good resistance to sulfuric acid. Their US and European alloy designations are given in Table 1. Weight loss corrosion studies show that the protective film continues to improve, with the corrosion rate dropping to 0.5 mpy (0.012 mm/y) in ~1 y, and a long-term, steady-state rate of ~0.0S mpy (0.001 mm/y) in 3 to 7 y in quiet, tidal, and flowing seawater (Figure 2)2 Alloy C71500 (70:30 copper-nickel) exhibits the same pattern of decreasing corrosion rate with time. Insecticides. Section of seawater filter - Photo courtesy: Filter Safe This is particularly important since sea water is salty hence can quickly corrode the filter. The seawater corrosion resistance offered by copper-nickel alloys results from the formation of a thin, adherent, protective surface film which forms naturally and quickly upon exposure to clean seawater. CFS should not be regarded as a true endurance limit, since failure may occur at lower stresses at greater than 108 cycles. While stainless steel grades 304, 316 and duplex steels can all be used in marine applications, they do provide varying degrees of corrosion resistance and durability. Potential galvanic corrosion on the adjacent steel is addressed by coating the top section with paint; the bottom, submerged junction will be protected by the cathodic protection system normally applied to the structure(1,15). Over two years during the evaluation trial, the vessel performed well with minimal corrosion. This appears to be due to thermo-galvanic effects resulting from the occurrence of local hot spots. Copper alloy pumps and valves in SS or titanium piping systems would have difficulty in forming a good protective film and are not suggested for such service. The large information of seawater corrosion resistant materials is complemented and updated on echemi.com. The Italian Ministry of the Interior commissioned 4 fire boats with 90-10 copper-nickel roll-bonded clad steel for the submerged parts of the hulls in 1983. At higher temperatures, the film forms and matures faster(5). In the chemical process industries, titanium and its alloys offer good corrosion resistance in many process environments. General experience has shown that 90-10 and 70-30 copper-nickel alloys can successfully be used in condensers and heat exchangers with velocities up to 2.5m/s and 3m/s respectively. The welded seams of the copper-nickel sheets were in good condition too. Currently, it suffices to say that any differences in biofouling properties of 90-10 and 70-30 alloys would appear to be of little practical significance for hulls and offshore platform splash zone sheathing. Highly suitable for seawater containing sand and slurry due to its excellent This alloy also shows suitable resistance in phosphoric acid, nitric acid and aqueous salt solutions. Arsenical brass is another option. 2) Chlorides: The recommended maximum level of chloride in U.S. drinking water is 250 mg/L. However, it is beneficial for a flow through the condenser to be maintained, even if necessary at a reduced level, when in port. Much of this equipment is subject to low-cycle fatigue that can occur with repeated deep dives or repeated lowering of instruments to great depths, as well as to high-cycle fatigue associated with rotating machinery. Read on to learn which primary materials can save money, reduce maintenance efforts, and more! North and Pryor found the film to be largely cuprous oxide (Cu2O), with cuprous hydroxychloride [Cu2(OH)3CI] and cupric oxide (CuO) being present in significant amounts on occasion.1 These studies indicated corrosion product film thicknesses to range from 2800 A for copper to 4400 A for Alloy C70600 (90:10 copper-nickel). An advantage of the system has been that if impact occurs and some panels are damaged, it takes only a short time to repair the sheathing. Use 65% nickel-copper consumables for copper-nickel to steel dissimilar welds. 316 stainless steel. In terms of high velocity marine environments, titanium is nearly resistant to any erosion even up to a velocity of 120 ft./sec, as well as stagnant water. stainless steel. At 27C, a common inlet temperature for Middle East desalination plants, rapid film formation and good protection can be expected in a few hours. Copper , bronze, or brass. Note: Once the corrosion product film is fully formed (2 to 4 weeks), somewhat higher velocities can be tolerated for short periods not exceeding 15% of total operating time. According to these standards, materials are arbitrarily defined as seawater resistant if the pitting resistance equivalent (PRE N ), PRE N = wt.% Cr + 3.3 wt.% Mo + 16 wt.% N, of the alloy is above 40. wear resistance. Different combinations have different advantages. For commissioning which can last from a few weeks to 3 months, the ferrous sulfate content of the cooling water can be set up to 2 to 3 ppm(20). Film-Forming Material. This is most usually overcome by using duplex grades or, in some special applications, high nickel alloys. 3 and 4, p.83, 1978. It is most probable that it is due to the unoxidised copper ions normally present within the protective film and is an area where more detailed work is required. The biofouling resistance of copper-nickel tubing allows shipboard condensers to maintain good heat transfer capability for several months between mechanical cleanings without the need for onboard chlorine generators required for other tubing materials. However, since that time, other products have been developed for protecting offshore structures which are composites of copper-nickel wire or granules embedded into an insulating substrate such as rubber or polyester gel with discrete areas of copper-nickel exposed on the surface. This alloy has been found to give very good performance. However, the 70-30 copper-nickel alloy displays lower corrosion in ammonia than the 90-10 alloy and the rates of both are lower than in those observed in other copper based alloys(8). 2507 Stainless Steel was designed for demanding applications which require exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, such as chemical process, petrochemical, and seawater equipment. These were based on the reasoning that it was copper ions released into the seawater which were toxic to macrofouling. . It has been the practice in the US to use C83600, C90300, and C90500 pumps and valves in C70600 piping systems because of their wide availability. Marine propellers are made from corrosion-resistant materials as they are made operational directly in seawater which is a corrosion accelerator. Again, prevention requires avoidance of slow flow and dead areas; dosing the cooling water with ferrous ions is also advantageous(9). this has generally been tolerable. Stainless steel's corrosion resistance depends on the formation of a "passive" chromium oxide film on the metal surface which is highly resistant to corrosion. (203 mm). Corrosion, particularly dezincification is probable if the less noble manganese bronze is used as experience in the first 90-10 copper-nickel hulled boat, the Copper Mariner(16) and more recently in New Zealand on a copper-nickel sheathed vessel(17). . operation, 34 pumps (First put into operation in 1980), Over 10 years of operation with no corrosion, Field test with actual liquids: Waste incineration plant toxic gas removal The hydrodynamics of ship hulls are somewhat different than piping systems. The excellent bio-fouling and corrosion resistance of 90/10 copper-nickel mesh coupled with its mechanical strength and low resistance to water flow, make it an ideal material for the large scale development of underwater pens and enclosures. For other situations where there is brief exposure to sulfides during normal operating service, clean water should be returned to as soon as possible. These products are recognized for their light weight and comparatively low cost. For corrosion resistance, any metal component exposed to seawater should be either brass, bronze, 316 stainless (also known as A4 stainless), titanium, or perhaps aluminum. 1, p. 3, 1977. 5 years), Kusatsu Hot Springs - Spring water composition, (1) Test pieces immersed in hot springs reservoir (Test period: May 26 The materials used for making marine propellers are an alloy of aluminium and stainless steel. The invention further provides a preparation method of the seawater corrosion-resistant . Occasionally, the lessons learned in earlier times are lost and previously solved problems re-occur. Copper-nickel alloys were developed specifically for seawater service over five decades ago, initially for condensers and piping systems. Copper-based alloys Bronze, brass, and other copper-based alloys are great for resisting corrosion, and as a result, are often chosen as materials for the marine industry.
