GALVANİK KOROZYON VE ALÜMİNYUM-BAKIR ÜZERİNE DENEYSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

OpenAlex Türkçe

Corrosion is important in refrigeration, heating and air conditioning systems, as well as in industry and in preserving foods which are important for human health. Regardless of the fluid motion, corrosion is formed over time in pipes in which especially condensation and evaporation occur. Some metals are more active in exposure to corrosion. In air conditioning systems, copper which is less active in exposure to corrosion is used as pipe material. In this study, aluminum (more active than copper to corrosion) and copper pipes were used on an experimental set up to investigate how these materials are affected by the corrosion. First, the voltage values between aluminum and copper metals were measured in volts. Then the anode-cathode reactions in the system designed were formed and the increase in the amount of corrosion was measured. A different design has been made to reduce the resulting corrosion. The new designed system has been analyzed experimentally and the amount of reduction in corrosion was observed.
