High strength copper-nickel (Cu-Ni-Mn-Al-Nb) alloys are widely used for marine applications due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, high inherent resistance to biofouling and ease of fabrication. However, in-service experience has shown that these alloys may encounter variable performance worldwide due to local environmental conditions. In particular, the corrosion performance of high strength Cu-Ni alloys may be affected by the seawater environmental factors, which include biofouling, temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen content. This study reports an investigation into the galvanic corrosion performance between two wrought high strength copper-nickel alloys, with nickel contents of 15 and 19 %, regarding the influence of surface oxide films / deposits and biofouling. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the composition of the corrosion product films. Analyses of galvanic currents, coupled and decoupled potentials routinely monitored for seawater immersion over a period of 2 years are presented.

Results of laboratory testing of a new technology for mitigating galvanic corrosion. Incorporated into a device, referred to as the galvanic corrosion inhibiting coupling (GCIC) or bi-electrode device (BED), it creates an ohmic potential drop within the pipe and minimizes the polarization of the dissimilar metals.
