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 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 ...

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) ...

WHILE SOME corrosion-control treatments may be beneficial, a UB professor has proven in laboratory experiments that one rust-proofing treatment billed as protecting motor vehicles against the ravages ...

The service life of marine steel structures is significantly impacted by metal corrosion. The conventional cathodic protection method requires a significant amount of energy and metal resources.
