In this work, the corrosion behavior and surface reactivity of as-cast and heat-treated nickel aluminum bronze casting alloy (UNS C95800) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is investigated under stagnant and flow conditions. Increasing flow rate conditions are simulated using a rotating disk electrode from 0 to 9000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Optical micrographs confirm the decrease in the phase fraction of corrosion-sensitive β phase in the microstructure of C95800 after annealing, which, in turn, enhances the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Electrochemical studies including open circuit potentiometry, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to assess the effect of flow rate and heat treatment on the corrosion of samples at 25 and 40 °C in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. For both as-cast and heat-treated samples, increasing the flow rate (i.e., electrode rotating rate) linearly reduces the corrosion resistance, indicating that the metal dissolution rate is significantly affected by hydrodynamic flow. Increasing the solution temperature negatively impacts the corrosion behavior of the as-cast and heat-treated samples at all flow conditions.

Nickel Aluminum Bronze (NAB) alloys have been widely used in different kinds of machine parts where the superior resistance to corrosion and erosion in saltwater is needed. In this work, mechanical properties at high temperatures and microstructures of a NAB alloy were investigated. First, NAB specimens were prepared as an as-cast ingot and were subsequently heat-treated at 675°C for 6 hours in order to improve microstructure and mechanical properties. The mechanical properties at high temperatures in form of the plastic flow curves of the NAB alloy were characterized by a deformation dilatometer. The NAB samples were compressed at high temperature and rapidly cooled down to room temperature. The deformation temperatures of 825°C, 850°C and 900°C, a strain rate of 0.01 s-1, and a maximum compression strain of 0.4 were considered. The influences of the temperature on flow behavior of the NAB alloy were investigated. The plastic stress-strain curves at different temperatures were compared with regard to the rate of material strain hardening and softening. It was found that the compression stresses decreased with increasing temperatures. Additionally, the resulted hardness and microstructures of the alloy after forming at high temperatures were analyzed.

To study the effect of weld and defects on the corrosion behavior of nickel aluminum bronze (UNS C95810) in 3.5% NaCl solution, the weight loss, X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and electrochemical test of the specimen with weld and defects were investigated. The results show that the presence of weld and defects increases the corrosion rate of bronze. Weld does not change the structure of the corrosion product film, but defects induce a lack of the protective outermost corrosion product in bronze. Weld makes the corrosion product film in the early stage more porous. Defects always produce an increase in the dissolution rate of the bronze.
