The effect of Temperature on Corrosion ഀ ഀ In general, corrosion rates increase ഀ with increasing temperature. In seawater, this increase is much less than the ഀ doubling of reaction rates with each 18°F rise in temperature that would be ഀ expected if the reactions were under diffusion control as are many other ഀ chemical reactions. ഀ ഀ For many materials, such as steels, where the oxygen content of the water ഀ directly affects the corrosion rate, the effect of temperature is minimal as in ഀ situations where the corrosion rate would be increased by increased temperature, ഀ the solubility of oxygen is decreased with increasing temperatures and the two ഀ effects counteract each other. Steels andഀ copper ഀ alloys are particularly insensitive to temperature effects in normal marine ഀ immersion.ഀ ഀ ഀ For other alloys that depend on a passive film for their corrosion resistance, ഀ the effects of temperature can be more pronounced.ഀ ഀ ഀ At elevated temperatures the solubility oxygen required for repairing protective ഀ oxide films found on many passive materials is reduced and the reactions that ഀ cause the films to break down are enhanced by the increased temperatures.ഀ ഀ ഀ Many stainless steels have what is essentially a “critical ഀ pitting temperature” in seawater that is in the range of temperatures ഀ experienced in natural seawater. In cold waters they do not pit but in warmer ഀ waters they are susceptible. ഀ ഀ Source: "Corrosion Control" NAVFAC MO-307 september 1992 | ഀ

Effect of Temperature on Corrosion in Seawater ഀ ഀ For most chemical reactions, the reaction rate increases with increasing ഀ temperature. Temperature affects the corrosion rate of metals in electrolytes ഀ primari through its effect on factors which control the diffusion rate of ഀ oxygen.ഀ ഀ The corrosion of iron and steel is an example of this because temperature ഀ affects the corrosion rate by virtue of its effect on the oxygen solubility and ഀ oxygen diffusion coefficient.ഀ ഀ As temperature increases the diffusion coefficient of oxygen also increases ഀ which tends to increase the corrosion rate.ഀ ഀ However as temperature is increased oxygen solubility in aqueous solutions ഀ decreases until at the boiling point all oxygen is removed; this figtor tends to ഀ decrease the corrosion rate.ഀ ഀ The net affect fo mild steel, is that the corrosion rate approximately doubles ഀ for a temperature rise of 30°C up to a maximum temperature at about 80°C, the ഀ rate then falls off in an open system because the decreall in oxyben solubility ഀ becomes the most important factor.ഀ ഀ In a closed system, where oxygen cannot escape the corrosion rate continues to ഀ increase indefinitely with temperature until all the oxygen is consumed. ഀ ഀ source: THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT ON THE CORROSION OF METALS IN SEA ഀ WATER- -A LITEATURE SURVEY | ഀ
