Andrew P Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Treneglos was built more than a decade ago, so if it was the ballasting process it's taken a while to manifest itself... I very much doubt anything either in the Ballast or used to lay the ballast would have caused it, could it not just be a case of poor quality Nickel?

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 23, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm just trying to get out of Birmingham. Bit of wind (not Ross for a change) and the rail network grinds to a halt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 We are getting way off topic with diversion into Mouse droppings and urine, and I have no desire to start a fight, but Andrew P' s post :- the Acid in Mouse Sh1t should not effect a good quality Nickel, that was my point. Causes me to ask how does he know that "good quality nickel" would not be attacked by the rodent droppings. Who supplies the best and poor quality stuff. ? Nickel Silver is a Bronze alloy, it is Copper based with about 12% nickel and 17 % zinc. I have no information about Nickel Silver's Corrosion resistance, but I have asked a producer for their views. If I get an answer I'll report back, Again,I'm not trying to ruffle feathers!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBRJ Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 First post here, not quite as I imagined. Nickel silver is not a Bronze alloy it has no tin in it, though it is sometimes regarded as a brass. There is some tendency for corrosion on contact with acids, due to the presence of zinc. Mouse water is acidic, that could well cause the corrosion. I am not sure what defines good or bad NS though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
