Sulfates and nitrates works as inhibitors for pitting corrosion caused by chlorides in pH neutral environments
[2]
In general low pH (below 6) increase corrosion risk and high pH (above 7.5) decrease the corrosion risk

Fe
and Mn
are strong oxidants and may increase the risk for localised corrosion on stainless steels
[4]
in combination with brazing material copper
SiO
above 150ppm increase the risk of scaling
