In this video, we explore how ships protect their steel hulls from rust using paint systems, rust removal, and sacrificial anodes. From corrosion chemistry to cathodic protection, we reveal why some ...

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 ...

A recent survey of magnesium sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems installed on Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) pipelines in 1998 revealed that many of the anodes had failed prematurely and ...

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 ...
