  2. Bronze disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_disease

    Bronze disease is an irreversible and nearly inexorable corrosion process that occurs when chlorides come into contact with bronze or other copper-bearing alloys. [1] It can occur as both a dark green coating, or as a much lighter whitish fuzzy or furry green coating. [ 1 ]

  3. Bismuth bronze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_bronze

    Bismuth-tin bronze is not easily corroded by water; preliminary bismuth is not easily oxidized. Used in faucets, pump components, pipe fittings, plumbing goods, water pump impellers, housings and small gears, Alloy C89835 Bismuth-Tin Bronze has density 0.321 lb/in 3 , [ 10 ] while Alloy C89844 (which is used for fittings or valves for potable ...

  4. Tin pest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_pest

    Bronze disease – destruction of bronze artifacts by corrosion; Gold–aluminium intermetallic – giving rise to Purple plague or White plague, another failure mode for electronic components due to the formation of a crystalline substance. Zinc pest – decay of zinc by an unrelated intercrystalline corrosion process.

  5. Conservation and restoration of outdoor bronze objects

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    Protective elements for bronze fountains are particularly important, since water is one of the leading causes for alterations or corrosion in a bronze. [2] Bronze sculptures incorporated in fountains will need more layers of wax, because the spray of water will cause deterioration of the wax at a faster pace than would normally happen.

  6. Bronze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze

    Bronze, or bronze-like alloys and mixtures, were used for coins over a longer period. Bronze was especially suitable for use in boat and ship fittings prior to the wide employment of stainless steel owing to its combination of toughness and resistance to salt water corrosion. Bronze is still commonly used in ship propellers and submerged bearings.

  7. Erosion corrosion of copper water tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_corrosion_of...

    Erosion corrosion, also known as impingement damage, is the combined effect of corrosion and erosion caused by rapid flowing turbulent water.It is probably the second most common cause of copper tube failures behind Type 1 pitting which is also known as Cold Water Pitting of Copper Tube.

  8. Aluminium bronze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_bronze

    Aluminium bronzes are most valued for their higher strength and corrosion resistance as compared to other bronze alloys. These alloys are tarnish-resistant and show low rates of corrosion in atmospheric conditions, low oxidation rates at high temperatures, and low reactivity with sulfurous compounds and other exhaust products of combustion.

  9. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    High-temperature corrosion typically occurs in environments that have heat and chemical [74] such as hydrocarbon fuel sources but also other chemicals enable this form of corrosion. Thus it can occur in boilers, automotive engines driven by diesel or gasoline, metal production furnaces and flare stacks from oil and gas production.
