Nickel Development Institute reference book series, 2nd ed., 1994. Materials for saline water pumps include cast irons, austenitic cast irons, copper alloys, nickel-base alloys and stainless steels. In selecting corrosion-resisting materials for the several components of saline water pumps there are four principal considerations: corrosion resistance in clean seawater, and in modified saline waters that pumps commonly encounter; resistance to high velocity and turbulence; resistance to stagnant saline water encountered during standby periods; and galvanic compatibility: the pump case should galvanically protect the internals. These considerations are addressed, as is experience with available alloys.
