CORROSION OF
METALS AND ALLOYS IN THE DEEP OCEAN, Between 1960 and 1970, about 20,000 specimens of 475 alloys were posed in the seawater in the Pacific Ocean in order to conduct a program on the effects of deep-ocean environments on materials. The test specimens included steels, cast irons, stainless steels, copper, nickel, aluminum, titanium, miscellaneous alloys, and wire ropes. They were exposed at the surface and at nominal depths of 2,500 and 6,000 feet for periods of time varying from 123 to 1,064 days. The results of their corrosion behavior have been issued in 15 Civil Engineering Laboratory reports; other Navy Department reports from Naval Air Development Center, Naval Ship Research and Development Center (Annapolis) and Naval Underwater Ordnance Center; and from non-government participants. Very little of this information is available in the open literature. Therefore, this information has been compiled, analyzed, and evaluated in this report.
