Sophisticated topside electronics aboard today's Navy ships are becoming evermore increasingly expensive to replace due to corrosion. This paper discusses a ship board experiment using a solvent based Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) solution used to inhibit the corrosion of electrical parts due to ocean type corrosive atmospheres and testing with the Quartz Crystal Microbalance, QCM and an atmospheric corrosion monitor to support the ship board conclusions.
