Abstract

Copper and copper alloys are frequently used in environments where short-term laboratory testing indicates that they should be resistant to corrosion. However, in long-term service, copper and its alloys show degradation mechanisms which have not been replicated in the laboratory. In this paper, corrosion mechanisms for copper alloys will be examined from the standpoint of corrosion product thermodynamics and corrosion kinetics, with particular reference to microbiologica11y influenced corrosion (MIC). Comparison will be made to the corrosion behavior of high-iron and high-nickel alloys.
