What I really need is a better understaning of the relative resistance of various materials to crevice corrosion. What...
Non-metalic is not really a viable option because I would need to go through a fairly extensive re-qualification process.
What about adding a zinc? Does that protect from crevice corrosion or only general surface corrosion?
I am attempting to solve a crevice corrosion problem on an instrument that my company manufactures. The instrument was designed for use in fresh water up to 250 ft deep and is made of 316 stainless steel. Ideally it should have a life of 5 years or more. The design of the case has several...
