THE corrosion rates of metals in oxygenated water at varying tem-peratures are influenced, in general, by the manner in which temperature affects (1) the specific reaction rates of the various corrosion processes,(2) oxygen solu-bility of the water,(3) the rate of transfer of dissolved oxygen through the liquid, and (4) the nature of the corrosion products. In general, all other conditions being constant, equal small increments of temperature cause approximately the same multiplication of specific reaction rates of chemical processes, but it has been demonstrated that the corrosion rate of iron in water of constant oxygen concentration in-creases linearly with temperature, and that the corrosion re-action is influenced chiefly by the rate of transfer of oxygen to the metal surface (7). The rate of transfer of oxygen will be determined largely by the nature of the corrosion products and the effect of temperature upon the rate of diffusion. However, on account of the decreasing solubility of oxygen in water with risingtemperature, the corrosion rate of iron in water in open systems is a balance between the rate of transfer of oxygen to the metal surface and the oxygen solubility. Therefore, over a range of temperature, the net result is that the corrosion rate passes through a maximum. It is believed that this explanation will hold in general for a number of active metals, provided the corrosion products of all are affected by temperature in the same manner. It is a recognized fact that the hydroxide, or hydrous oxide, of zinc has varying properties as the temperature is changed (2, S, 4, 5). At room temperature the hydrous oxide precipitates in the form of a gel with an indefinite amount of adsorbed water. When the precipitate is heated, it gradually loses
