Abstract:Copper and copper alloys have found applications in various industries. One of the main reasons Cu and its alloys are utilized widely is that they have sufficient corrosion resistance in key environments, such as seawater and anoxic solutions; however, localized corrosion processes might occur in the presence of aggressive anions, oxygen, or an increase in solution pH. In critical applications of Cu, the susceptibility of Cu to localized corrosion, specifically pitting, must be carefully considered, as it coul… Show more
