The mixed charge and mass transfer influenced anodic current response of CA 104 nickel aluminium bronze (NAB) is presented as a function of both laminar (rotating disc electrode) and fully turbulent (rotating cylinder electrode)fluid flow. At low values of positive polarisation, the overall behaviour of the freshly polished material in filtered and artificial seawaters is closely related to that of unalloyed copper. The primary anodic reaction in this case is the selective dissolution of the copper component via a cuprous di-chloride complex anion. At large positive polarisation, the solid solution mole fraction for the production of a discrete film of protective alumina (Al2O3) is examined as a function of Reynolds number and discussed in terms of a new mechanism for the passivation NAB in seawater. The polarisation data is used to replicate experimental Reynolds number dependent, corrosion potentials and corrosion current densities over a wide range of electrode angular velocities.
