Abstract
Establishes definitively whether certain chemical constituents inhibit or accelerate copper pitting corrosion. Examines the impacts of water chemistry on dezincification. Determines the extent to which differential flow and water chemistry interact to cause non-uniform corrosion failures in single-metal systems and those with dissimilar needs. Published in 2011.
