A protective coating has been applied onto the phosphated panels using cathodic electrocoating in two different dry film thickness namely 8µm and 20µm. The corrosion resistance of cathodic electrocoatings has been studied using AC/DC/AC method. Twelve cycles of AC/DC/AC test were carried out on each sample which the DC voltage of the first 6 cycles were -4 V VS. Ag/AgCl @ 20 minutes followed by...

steel pipelines are susceptible to corrosion by the action of corrosive substance in the environment and one of the most common failure modes in buried pipeline coatingis cathodic disbondment. consequently, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) was used to assess the effect of three important parameters, the thickness of coating, the artificial defect and electrolyte type, on cathodic di...

calcareous deposits formed on the part of steel that cathodic reactions occur on their surface. the purpose of this research is an investigation of the effect of potential on crystal form of the calcareous deposits and effect of them on the corrosion resistance of the mild steel in natural seawater. the electrochemical tests such as impedance and polarization tofel tests were used in order to i...

Cathodic corrosion is a process that etches metal electrodes under cathodic polarization. This process is presumed to occur through anionic metallic reaction intermediates, but the exact nature of these intermediates and the onset potential of their formation is unknown. Here we determine the onset potential of cathodic corrosion on platinum electrodes. Electrodes are characterized electrochemi...
