Top half of panels are in the vapor phase

Tested in solutions of standard hard water (100ppm as CaCO3 & 71ppm as chlorides),

unless otherwise noted

Corrosion inhibitors tested at varying concentrations (by weight)

Standard Metals

Aluminum Panels: Bare Aluminum, #2024

Steel Panels: Cold Rolled Steel (Mild), SAE 210

Copper Panels: #110 Copper (99.95% Cu)

Brass Panels: #260 Brass Alloy (30% Zn / 70% Cu)

Corrosion Testing: Flash Rust Protection at pH ~3 to ~5.5

Procedure: Cold rolled steel panels were placed into each solution and allowed to soak for ~1 hour at room

temperature. The steel panels were removed and allowed to air dry without rinsing.

No rust forms on the panels if DeCORE AFCI-45 present.
