Corrosion behavior is a prime consideration for selection of materials for high performance ships operating in marine environments. Of particular concern on high performance ships is the effect of high sea water velocities on general, galvanic and pitting corrosion behavior. Davis and Gehring1 have previously reported the effect of sea water velocity on general and galvanic corrosion. This article presents time variations in corrosion behavior over a range of sea water velocities.
