Studies on Corrosion at Power Generation Stations Using Acid River Water (10th Report). On the Corrosion of High Chromium Steels (I)

Abstract

The effect of additions of copper, molybdenum and titanium as alloy elments to prévent the localized corrosion of high chromium steels in acid river water has been studied. These elements are very effective and the corrosion rate of high chromium steels is greatly reduced. Titanium is above all effective. Some thirteen per cent chromium steels containing proper quantity of titanium are scarcely corroded in acid river water.
