Discussion on “EROSION-CORROSION OF METALS AND ALLOYS,” by M. G. Fontana and W. A. Luce. corrosion, 5, No. 6, 189-193 (1949) June.
Question by Harris Thompson, National Aluminate Co., Chicago, Ill.:
The oxygen content of the fluid used in any corrosion test is a very important part of the evaluation of results and in transference of the test results from the laboratory to field work. Thus it would be desirable to have the figures on oxygen content of the test solutions included in the reported results.
Authors Reply:
Oxygen contents of the solutions were not determined because these were merely “high-spot” tests. The solutions are “highly aerated” or “not artificially aerated.” We are conducting tests under controlled aeration in another system which is completely enclosed. These results will be published later when the study has progressed far enough to warrant it.
