Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

Reinforced concrete is ubiquitous in infrastructure but vulnerable to steel corrosion induced by chloride ingress and carbonation. Electrochemical protection offers a proactive approach to arresting ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

Two new methods for designing pipeline cathodic-protection systems employ newly developed CP design software for marine pipelines. One method is based upon the recently developed Slope Parameter; the ...

Corrosion of buried steel can be managed through one or some combination of the following four approaches: (1) the service life of the steel can be increased with additional steel incorporated into ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...

Mechanism of cathodic protection of iron or carbon steel. Schematic representation of cathodic protection mechanism (a) before the application of CP, (b) in the first instants of CP application, (c) ...
