from 123 to 1,064 days. The results of their corrosion behavior have been issued in 15 

 Civil Engineering Laboratory reports; other Navy Department reports from Naval Air 

 Development Center, Naval Ship Research and Development Center (Annapolis) and 

 Naval Underwater Ordnance Center; and from nongovernment participants. Very little 

 of this information is available in the open literature. Therefore, this information has 

 been compiled, analyzed, and evaluated in this report.

CORROSION OF METALS AND ALLOYS IN THE DEEP 

 OCEAN (Final), by F. M. Reinhart

Between 1960 and 1970, about 20,000 specimens of 475 alloys were exposed in the 

 seawater in the Pacific Ocean in order to conduct a program on the effects of deep-ocean environ- 

 ments on materials. The test specimens included steels, cast irons, stainless steels, copper, nickel, 

 aluminum, titanium, miscellaneous alloys, and wire ropes. They were exposed at the surface and 

 at nominal depths of 2,500 and 6,000 feet for periods of time varying from 123 to 1,064 days. 

 The results of their corrosion behavior have been issued in 15 Civil Engineering Laboratory 

 reports; other Navy Department reports from Naval Air Development Center, Naval Ship Research 

 and Development Center (Annapolis) and Naval Underwater Ordnance Center; and from non- 

 government participants. Very litde of this information is available in the open literature. 

 Therefore, this information has been compiled, analyzed, and evaluated in this report.
