| Abstract |
The effects of Cr and/or Zr additions on tensile and corrosion behaviors of Cu-6i-4Sn alloy were examined. It was observed that the changes in microstructure and tensile properties of Cu-6Ni-4Sn alloy were not significant with the addition of 0.1 to 0.3% Cr and/or Zr in the present study. The resistance to pitting corrosion was, however, improved in 3.5% NaCl solution with particularly the addition of Cr and Zr. The passive films observed in Cu-6Ni-4Sn alloys with Cr and/or Zr addition appeared to be more stable than non-Cr and/or Zr containing counterpart. The mechanism(s) of the improved resistance to pitting corrosion for Cu-6Ni-4Sn alloy with the addition of Cr and/or Zr is discussed based on the experimental observations. |
