Abstract

B10 Cu-Ni alloy is widely used in condenser and other facilities due to its good corrosion resistance in sea water. In practical application, it was found that the concentration of NH₄⁺ was relatively high in sea water in the off shore port area and B10 Cu-Ni alloy was more likely to perforate. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of B10 Cu-Ni alloy in natural seawater and seawater containing 10 mg/L NH₄⁺ was comparatively studied, in order to clarify the influence mechanism of NH₄⁺ on the corrosion of B10 Cu-Ni alloy. The average corrosion rate, electrochemical characteristics, morphology and chemical composition of corrosion products of the steel were characterized by means of mass loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) with EDS and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).The results indicated that the addition of NH₄⁺ reduced the content of protective Cu₂O in the corrosion products, thus increasing the corrosion rate of B10 Cu-Ni alloy in seawater and promoting the pitting tendency.

Key words: NH₄⁺ pollution seawater B10 Cu-Ni alloy Cu₂O corrosion product film
