Abstract  

The electrochemical corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel and B30 Cu-Ni alloy in saline groundwater with variation of electric conductivity, pH value and flow velocity was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves and EIS. The results showed that the corrosion current density and pitting sensitivity of B30 Cu-Ni alloy increased rapidly with the increase of the conductivity, while that of 316L stainless steel increased slowly. The corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel was better than that of B30 Cu-Ni alloy. In acidic solution, B30 Cu-Ni alloy exhibited characteristic of uniform corrosion without appearance of pitting corrosion. With the increasing of pH value, pitting corrosion of B30 Cu-Ni alloy was promoted while that of 316L stainless steel was inhibited. As the flow velocity increased up to 1 m/s, the stability of the passive film of B30 Cu-Ni alloy was damaged, while that of 316L stainless steel was not affected. These results provide a reference to the choice of the metal materials for heat pump system.

Key words:  B30 Cu-Ni alloy      316L stainless steel      conductivity      pH value      corrosion
