The corrosive effect of liquid mixed fertilizers on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys was determined. Both mild steel and stainless steel were satisfactorily resistant with practically all combinations of variables tested. Aluminum resistivity ranged from unsatisfactory to satisfactory; conditions which had a significantly adverse effect were high phosphate content, high temperature, and aeration of sample. Beneficial conditions were presence of potash and use of inhibitor. There were some differences in resistivity of the aluminum alloys, but the effects of solution variables were much more important.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
