EFFECTS OF ALLOYING ELEMENTS ON THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM IN WATER AT HIGH TEMPERATURES (in Norwegian)

Journal Article · · Tek. Ukeblad
OSTI ID:4140167
Very pure aluminum corrodes very quickly in water at temperatures higher than 130 deg C. It is shown that the metal is attacked at the grain boundary. With addition of alloying elements which form phases which are cathodic with respect to the aluminum, the attack is prevented. Additions of iron or nickel are the best. A series of alloys with different concentrations of iron and silicon was investigated. and the best behaved satisfactorily up to 200 deg C. At higher temperatures, alloys with iron and nickel were found to be superior. (tr- auth)
