- Description
- The relatively limited data for the corrosion and pitting of high nickel alloys are reviewed herein and time-dependent trends developed for exposures in marine and atmospheric environments. Data sets for average or 'uniform' corrosion losses that are sufficiently extensive show topological consistency with the bimodal functional model previously observed for steels and various copper-nickel and aluminum alloys. Trends for localized corrosion (pit or crevice depth) plateau after earlier rapid growth over several years. The present observations add support to the concept that there is a change in corrosion behavior with extended temporal exposure and that this is generally consistent for many alloys. They also reinforce that shorter-term observations of maximum corrosion or pit depth usually is unsuited for extrapolation to, and prediction of, longer-term corrosion as typically important for practical infrastructure applications.
