Over the past few years, the Naval Research Laboratory has published a series of articles (1-4) relevant to the corrosion rates of various alloys in seawater at Key West, Florida. The present paper is part of a study designed to establish the relative corrosivity of the Key West site compared to other experimental sites. In practice, however, the variation in corrosion rate and characteristics caused by relatively minor changes in seawater velocity were such as to mask any possible variation in corrosivity relative to other sites.
