A study of corrosion behaviour of typical pump materials under sea water by Mao, Terrence Wei Quan

“…In this report, the focus is to observe Ni-Resist Type 1, Ni-Resist Type D-4 and Nickel Aluminium Bronze under different salinity and different temperatures, to see the effect temperature and salinity have on the rate of corrosion. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are also conducted on the materials before and after corrosion to observe for any changes in morphology or elemental distribution. …”
