National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Corrosion of Materials in Hydrospace. Part IV. Stainless Steels.

AD732365

Publication Date	1971
Personal Author	Reinhart, F. M.
Page Count	111
Abstract	A total of 1,750 specimens of 57 different stainless steels were exposed in seawater at the surface and at depths of 2,500 and 6,000 feet in the Pacific Ocean for periods of time varying from 123 to 1,064 days in order to determine the effects of the seawater environments at different depths on their corrosion resistance. Corrosion rates, type of corrosion, pit depths and stress corrosion cracking resistance are presented. In general, corrosion in surface seawater was more severe than in the deep seawater and in the bottom sediments at depths of 2,500 and 6,000 feet for equivalent periods of exposure. (Author)
