The structure and corrosion performance of nickel-aluminium bronze (NAB) - covered by naval specification DGS-8520 and DGS-348 - have been investigated. No evidence was found to suggest that there would be any significant difference in corrosion performance between alloys meeting the two specifications. Early corrosion problems associated with the weld repair areas of castings have been overcome largely by using improved foundry and welding techniques followed by a heat-treatment procedure. Both crevice and pit corrosion still occur in operating systems. However, recent reports indicate that with improved NAB foundry practice this is less widespread, with penetration often being confined to the surface grains. (DePo)
