MARINE ELECTROCHEMICAL CORROSION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

Many aspects of marine corrosion and control systems are covered in this report. The major items discussed include: electrochemical theory, electrochemical reactions, types and causes of corrosion, reference electrodes, galvanic series, typical corrosion performance, corrosion characteristics, cathodic protection, and other methods of corrosion control. Antifouling systems are also discussed. Appendices include a glossary of corrosion terms and a metric guide with selected conversion factors. (Author)
