Aluminium bronze is known for its high corrosion resistance.
This alloy, which typically contains aluminium (ranging from 5% to 11%) and copper, along with small amounts of other elements like iron, nickel, and manganese, has excellent corrosion resistance.

True is the correct answer.

True. That's why it is preferred alloy for pumps used in ships.

Aluminium bronzes resistance to corrosion results from the aluminium in the alloys, which reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form a thin, tough surface layer of alumina (aluminium oxide) which acts as a barrier to corrosion of the copper-rich alloy.

Answer is true because Aluminium bronzes are most valued for their higher strength and corrosion resistance as compared to other bronze alloys.

Aluminium bronzes are most valued for their higher strength and corrosion resistance as compared to other bronze alloys. These alloys are tarnish-resistant and show low rates of corrosion in atmospheric conditions, low oxidation rates at high temperatures, and low reactivity with sulfurous compounds and other exhaust products of combustion.
