ENVIRONMENTAL CRACKING OF CATHODICALLY PROTECTED MARINE STRUCTURAL STEELS IN A SALINE ENVIRONMENT

Offshore structures are subject to cathodic protection in order to prevent their general corrosion. Maintenance of such structures requires the ability to understand the effect of cathodic protection on their mechanical integrity. This motivated the current work to study the environmental cracking behaviour of steels used in manufacturing of offshore structures.
