Beschreibung:
<jats:p>The copper alloys, which were added Nickel show high corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are generally used in environments of poor quality fuel. However, it is expected that we reduce the amount of Ni in copper alloy, due to increase of Nickel consumption in recent years. We used five different types of sintered material samples that are different in the content of Nickel in the present study, to investigate the influence of Ni content to corrosion resistance quantitatively. These samples were used for the experiment of open circuit potentials, anodic and cathodic polarization curves measurements. To simulate environment in poor quality fuel we employed solution of 0.5 M Na<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S + 0.1 M NaOH (pH = 13.05). The experiment of open circuit potentials shows that samples that the content of Nickel is less than 42 mass% were formed passivation film on surface of sample during aeration. The experiment of polarization curves measurements show that the each sample was implied behavior of forming passivation film corresponding to potential-pH diagram of Cu in anodic region basically. In addition, the 36.4 mass% Nickel was remarkably improved corrosion resistance.</jats:p>
