Cathodic protection snapshot

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

CAREER OPTIONS IN CORROSION

CAREER OPTIONS IN CORROSION The first time I studied corrosion was in 2009. The last 14 years have taught me one important thing - The path of a career in corrosion is not as straightforward as we are led to believe. Whether we are starting as a student of corrosion, or are entering the field after working as a non-corrosion person, there is always some career pathway that we are not aware of. There are research projects, certifications , audits, inspections , etc. EveryEng gave me the opportunity to share my learnings about the possible options in the field of corrosion . If you are someone who is starting or wants to switch to/between corrosion and its related fields, here is a short presentation for you! https://www.everyeng.com/mentor/course/view/3559864f 😀 Happy learning! 😀

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

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 .

Types of MARINE corrosion

Types of MARINE corrosion The marine environment is one of the most corrosive environments. Its corrosivity is due to the ionic concentration of the seas and oceans, temperature variations, wind velocities, depth of the sea, and biological elements. As a result, the corrosion on marine structures such as ships, FPSO, and offshore platforms, appears in multiple forms. Hence, it is important to learn about the basic types of corrosion as applicable to the marine environment. Some of these types of corrosion in a marine environment are - Uniform corrosion due to sodium, magnesium, and calcium salts Uniform corrosion is characterized by the removal of the material all over the surface. It leads to thinning of the walls. Pitting in active-passive alloys such as aluminium Active-passive alloys have a thin oxide film on the surface. A small break due to the chlorides in the seawater allows the penetration of the water and ions, leading to pit formation. Crevice corrosion in fixtures and ...
