corrosion on aluminum alloys being considered for OTEC heat exchangers. Makai has developed a setup in which pit growth can be observed in-situ by optical imaging and ultrasonic scanning. Pitting sites are identified and corrosion product accumulation on the metal surface is observed using imagery.
Crevice corrosion sites are thereby entirely eliminated and pitting corrosion attack will be controlled by an integral and sacrificial layer of a zinc-aluminum alloy. This paper on brazed aluminum plate-fin heat exchangers for OTEC will aquaint the reader with the state-of-art and variations suggested to qualify this form of aluminum for ...
Oct 01, 1990 The major objective was to determine optimal biofouling-control methods. The results of the Phase 1 research were published in a report in 1985. The major objective of the Phase 2 research has been to develop a technical data base for the qualification of aluminum alloys for ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) heat-exchanger applications.

Localized corrosion is the main limiting factor in determining the service life of equipment (such as carbon steel heat exchangers) in industrial water systems. Chapters 6 and 23 (this volume), describe a sensor system designed to monitor the tendency of cooling water to promote localized corrosion based on the galvanically-coupled differential flow cell concept (Yang, 1995, 2000).

The corrosion of several aluminum alloys in flowing Hawaiian surface seawater and water from 600 m depth for exposure periods up to three years has been studied. The alloys tested in cold water were Alclad (7072) 3003 and 3004; and bare 3004 and 5052). All show some pitting. Pit growth is slow, and pits do not penetrate the cladding. In the warm water, only uniform corrosion has been found.

The marine corrosion of copper alloys is linked to the same elemental correlations between the metal and its environment. Indeed, historically, pure copper and its alloys with zinc (brass) and tin (bronze) represent the large majority of copper-made artefacts recovered from the sea.
