Bibliography: pages 96-103. / The mechanisation of the working stapes in South African gold mines has required the introduction of a fundamentally new technology, hydro-power, in which machines are powered hydraulically using mine water fed from above ground. Mine water is aggressive and has a variable acidity and pH, and contains high concentrations of sulphate, chloride and nitrate ions. In order to minimise the pitting corrosion of piping and stoping machinery a compromise between selecting a suitable corrosion resistant material and treating the mine water to an acceptable level of corrosiveness is being sought.
