Abstract

This work aimed to study the effect of Gabraun's water on the corrosion of brass and low carbon steel. The corrosion tests were carried out at room temperature. The test solution used was Gabraun water samples. From the results obtained, the weights of all the specimens after the immersion in Gabraun`s water were decreased. After the end of the experiments, the color of the Gabraun water samples that was used for the brass specimens was changed to a dark blue color, but for the low carbon steel, the color of the water did not change. During the corrosion tests period, the Gabraun water in the beakers decreased about 50 mL/week; this lack was substituted continuously by Gabraun water during the tests period. This addition of water increased the concentration of the salts of the Gabraun water samples. This increment played a role in the corrosion pprocess. he average corrosion rate for the low carbon steel is less than that of yellow copper specimens. The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) showed that the Gabraun water sample was not a corrosive medium; also, it showed that all the Gabroun water samples, after testing, were not corrosive mediums. The Pourbaix diagrams for both copper and iron in the water at 25°C showed that both copper and iron are not corroded metals.
