Abstract
A dockside experiment was designed at the mouth of the Pascagoula River in Pascagoula, Mississippi, to evaluate corrosion in welded Cu/Ni piping systems. Localized corrosion was shown to be due to the following sequence of events: (1) metal segregation during welding processes, (2) settlemnt of sulfide-producing bacteria in welds, (3) disruption of surface films by turbulence, and (4) formation of adjacent cathodic and anodic areas.Keywords
