Effects of High Salt Concentration and Residue on Copper and Aluminum Corrosion

doi:10.1007/s40242-013-2305-6

Abstract

Abstract:

Traditional researches on metal corrosion under salt solutions deposit conditions are usually carried out by visual, electron microscopic observations and simple electrochemical measurement via a traditional one-piece electrode. These techniques have difficulties in measuring localized corrosion that frequently occur in inhomogeneous media. This paper reports the results from the experiments using specially shaped coupons and a relatively new method of measuring heterogeneous electrochemical processes, namely, the wire beam electrode(WBE). Preliminary results from copper and aluminum corrosion in highly concentrated sodium chloride solutions with and without solid deposits show that the method is useful in simulating and studying corrosion especially localized corrosion in pipelines.

Key words: Copper, Aluminum, Mass loss, Deposit corrosion, General and pitting corrosion attack
