Copper Oxidises whenever the right conditions are present (Water, Air)-- think of every 'blue-green, powedery looking decorative moulding you've seen on any older building downtown... or the Statue of Liberty.) My opinion, if I were you, should be 'does the salinity in the water/air at the beach ACCELERATE the oxidisation or corrosion of copper?' That, I am not sure of, and would love to know. (I'm sure we could Google it!)
What else can I help you with?
Does water corrode copper?
Yes, water can corrode copper over time, especially if it is acidic or contains other corrosive substances. This process is known as copper corrosion.
How can you say copper corrode?
elements and compound
Does copper corrode over time?
Yes, copper can corrode over time due to exposure to air and moisture, forming a greenish layer called patina.
Can copper rust, or is it resistant to corrosion?
Copper is resistant to rusting, but it can still corrode over time.
Does copper pipe corrode over time?
Yes, copper pipes can corrode over time due to various factors such as water quality, pH levels, and exposure to certain chemicals.
Can a copper bb harm you if it stays in your flesh?
Actually the copper will start to corrode. and may cause infection.
Which one will corrode first of Zn and Cu metals were welded together?
Zinc will corrode first when welded to copper, as zinc is more reactive than copper. This can lead to galvanic corrosion, where the zinc sacrificially corrodes to protect the copper.
If steel and copper were in contact in an electrolyte which would corrode?
In this scenario, copper would corrode because it is lower in the galvanic series compared to steel. When two dissimilar metals are in contact in an electrolyte, the metal higher in the galvanic series (steel) acts as the anode and corrodes, while the metal lower in the series (copper) acts as the cathode and is protected.
Can dog urine corrode copper?
Yes, dog urine can corrode copper due to its acidic nature. If left on copper surfaces for a prolonged period of time, the urine may cause damage or discoloration to the copper material. It is important to clean any urine spills promptly to prevent corrosion.
Will freon contaminated with water corrode copper?
Yes, freon contaminated with water can corrode copper. The presence of water can lead to the formation of acids that can accelerate the corrosion of copper components in an HVAC system. It is important to ensure that freon is free of water to prevent this type of corrosion.
Why is copper used for water pipes?
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
Why does metals corrode more quickly near the sea?
Because some metals are reactive and corrode in sea water
