Abstract
Nickel atmospheric corrosion is discussed, ranging from moisture adsorption isotherms to measured indoor corrosion rates. Significant quantities of water are adsorbed on nickel surfaces with a heat of adsorption equal to 10.7 kcal/ mole. Corrosion kinetics are linear and exponentially dependent on relative humidity. The partial pressures of , , , and significantly influence nickel corrosion while and have little influence. Nickel corrodes in indoor environments at rates significantly less than outdoors and follows log normal statistics over the field site population studied.Keywords
