Abstract
Materials used in seawater pumps depend upon many factors
that include seawater quality, materials limitations and processing
characteristics, as well as materials cost and availability. Many
newer high alloy stainless steels not widely used a few decades ago
have now become standard alloy offerings for seawater pumps. The
benefits and limitations associated with materials considerations
commonly used for seawater pumps, along with a relative ranking
associated with overall cost performance and various materials
options, shall be reviewed.
