  • Next generation marine alloy – corrosion analysis

    Corrosion Research,

    19 May 2016

    Numerous problems with cast aluminium bronze have been encountered relating to leaking valves and other components. On routine inspection the full extent of corrosion penetration can be masked by surface corrosion product. This can hide selective phase corrosion which can penetrate much deeper into the part.

  • The British Corrosion Research Project – update May 2014

    Corrosion Research,

    28 May 2014

    Six months ago, after months of scouring the Earth to collect all of the materials that can be used in marine environments, three test racks were installed in three increasingly aggressive environments. The corrosion racks have now been in situ for six months, and the two salt water sites are showing completely different growths of sea weeds and gel-like organisms at the two locations even though they are only about five miles apart. Please read on for a brief update on the findings, which are already showing signs of useful information after six months.
