TP24-06 Positive Impact Elevated Temperatures on Yellow Metal Passivation in Recirculating Cooling SystemsIn typical aqueous conditions, if temperature increases, metallurgical corrosion rates and other reactions increase concomitantly. As a rule of thumb, it is often said that corrosion rates double for every ten degrees (Celsius) that the temperature increases. This general rule applies to metals in aqueous environments without the presence of corrosion inhibitors. Also, the water is often of low hardness where salt saturation is below the threshold for
