The Marine Corrosion Working Party of the EFC (EFC WP9) organised an
international workshop on the behaviour of copper and aluminium alloys in
natural and treated seawaters during EUROCORR 2004 in Nice (France).
One of the major objectives of this ‘Marine Corrosion Workshop on Copper
and Aluminium Alloys in Seawater’ was to present evidence and gather
together the results of research and development carried out on the seawater
applications of these alloys during recent years. The workshop brought together
scientists and engineers involved in assessing the behaviour of copper and
aluminium in seawater, with particular emphasis on Long-Term Behaviour
and Testing and on Mechanisms and Modelling.
Copper and aluminum alloys are widely used in marine engineering in areas such as pipelines, storage tanks, ships' hulls, and cladding for offshore structures. Written by an international panel under expert editorial direction, Corrosion Behaviour and Protection of Copper and Aluminium Alloys in Seawater reviews key factors affecting the corrosion and service life of copper and aluminum alloys in the marine environment. The book is divided into five parts, with Part 1 reviewing key aspects of the corrosion behavior of both these alloys. Part 2 discusses the use of copper and copper-nickel alloys in seawater, while Parts 3 and 4 cover aluminum bronzes and alloys. The final section of the book covers the use of aluminum-based materials as anodes for the cathodic protection of marine structures. |
