One way of controlling corrosion is by the use of corrosion-resistant materials. These are generally used in troublesome areas, such as pumps, valves, meters, and pump columns in waterflood projects where impingement, cavitation-erosion, abrasion, and wear are the principal factors involved. Such materials as D-2 Ni-Resist, Type 316 stainless steel, and various bronzes including aluminum bronze and nickel-aluminum bronze are finding increasing use. Corrosion tests made in the field with nickel alloys, aluminum bronze, mild steel, and cast iron showed corrosion rates under different conditions. The results of 3 separate tests are presented in a tabulation.
