Name of technique

Cathodic protection


Use

  • Prevent corrosion
  • Complement protection given by coatings

Definition

  • A technique where an ionic current towards the structure from the electrolyte is used to counter the corrosion current flowing out of the structure.

CP criteria

  • CP potential of -850 mV vs. CSE
  • An instant off potential of at least -850 mV vs CSE
  • A minimum 100 mV polarization post instant off

CP measurement techniques

  • Soil resistivity
  • CIPS
  • DCVG
  • Line current

Factors affecting CP requirements

  • pH
  • velocity
  • ionic type
  • ionic concentration
  • temperature

Issues with CP

  • Stray current corrosion
  • Insufficient CP potential
  • Insufficient CP current
  • Electrical shorting

I will discuss all these with examples in this major course, where you can prepare for the basics for your certification course!

Electrochemical testing - part 3- What does an ammeter do?

By
 Electrochemical testing - 3 - Ammeter Poll Question WITH Answers: Description: Tafel polarization is a potentiodynamic test, where the potential is changed at a certain mV/time rate. The changes in the current flow occurring due to the potential change are measured using the ammeter. The ammeter is connected between the working electrode and the counter electrode. It is NOT connected to the reference electrode in any way . Check out the video for a detailed explanation Check out the previous parts here - PART 1 PART 2 For concise and focusSed courses, check out the website below! https://corrospective.com

WORKSHOP - MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION: FACTS AND MYTHS

By
  !! Can bacteria get adapted to biocides so that every now and then it must be changed? !!    Are non-metals (particularly, composite and plastics) immune to MIC? !!   What is the likely MIC mechanism in soil environments ? Why should I ATTEND?   Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a unique type of corrosion with the microbes being the reason for the corrosion to occur, rather than a traditional corrosion cell. MIC is a known issue in many strategic industries such as, but not limited to pipelines, refineries, powerplants, and even PV solar panels. However, MIC is still a significant source of confusion. Hence, it is crucial to get hands-on skills and knowledge to define and cure it more effectively through more realistic prevention/mitigation integrity strategies based on general corrosion technology. What will I learn? “Six important myths currently accepted and used by industry” Electrochemistry in corrosion Relevance of electrochemistry to...
