An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...

This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

For a pipeline coating to be truly compatible with cathodic protection (CP), the coating should allow CP protection to the pipe even if disbondment occurs and water penetrates between the coating and ...

A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Northern Canada's permafrost and semi-permafrost environment poses a challenge for designing and building buried oil and gas pipelines. Researchers explored and evaluated the use of a certain type of ...

Vessels that operate across the globe in waters of varying levels of salinity and temperature are susceptible to corrosion damage. For example, localized pitting can occur on steel or aluminium hull ...

The global zinc powder for zinc-rich coatings market is entering a strong growth phase, driven by rising demand for corrosion ...

This corroding galvanized steel pole exhibits red corrosion products due to corrosivity of soil, chloride ions and galvanic action. When Dawson Public Power District in Lexington, Nebraska, U.S., ...

In 1973, the book, 'The Limits to Growth', highlighted chromium — used in tanning, metal production and finishing and corrosion protection — as one of the elements that human civilization would run ...
