- Abstract
- A study has been made concerning the corrosion resistance of a group of common construction metals that might come in contact with the fire extinguishing agent known as Light Water. The metals examined were exposed to concentrated Light Water material and to 6 solutions of Light Water prepared with sea water and with fresh water.
