Two new methods for designing pipeline cathodic-protection systems employ newly developed CP design software for marine pipelines. One method is based upon the recently developed Slope Parameter; the ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

When pipeline failures are discussed, the conversation often centers on what happens years after installation: corrosion ...

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 ...

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 ...

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection harnesses solar energy to generate electron–hole pairs within semiconductor materials, typically in the form of nanostructured oxides or sulfides deposited on ...

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., ...

Reinforced concrete is ubiquitous in infrastructure but vulnerable to steel corrosion induced by chloride ingress and carbonation. Electrochemical protection offers a proactive approach to arresting ...
