| Abstract | The work reports the performance of fastenings made of iron, aluminium, galvanised iron, cadmised iron and aluminised iron in contact with Adina cardifolia artocarpus hirsuta, Lagerstroemia lanceolata, Mangifera indica and Tectona grandis as well as timbers treated with arsenic-copper-chromate preservatives. Quantitative corrosion rates of fastenings or special corrosion cylinders driven into wood-fastenings combinations exposed to fine mist of seawater and distilled water in large test chambers are given. The pH values of some common Indian boat building timbers on incubation with seawater, distilled water and the influence of acidity on corrosion of fastenings are reported. The studies have shown that aluminised iron fastenings are compatible with several boat buiding timbers and can be used in place of expensive copper base alloys without sacrificing. |
