DIN 81249-2
Corrosion of metals in sea water and sea atmosphere - Part 2: Free corrosion in sea water; Text in German and English
Korrosion von Metallen in Seewasser und Seeatmosphäre - Teil 2: Freie Korrosion in Seewasser; Text Deutsch und Englisch
Overview
The standards of the DIN 81249 series contain terms and definitions, basic information, information and guiding values for the corrosion behaviour of unprotected, frequently used, metallic materials in contact with sea water or sea atmosphere. The special features of the material behaviour of various unprotected metals in metal-conducting contact with each other are described. The indicated numerical values are values from ranges of variations which have been formed as the mean from the values from numerous publications with very different boundary conditions. The information and numbers provide an indication of the corrosion behaviour of a metal which can be expected on average. Part 2 subdivides materials in groups, depending on the corrosion behaviour, and the corrosion behaviour of these material groups in sea water. The individual corrosion types are dealt with in this context.
