Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when metal surfaces come into contact with various elements, such as water and oxygen. This can cause damage to the metal over time, leading to the need for costly repairs and maintenance. In order to prevent corrosion and prolong the service life of metal surfaces, two main technologies […]
Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems are an effective and reliable technology for preventing corrosion of metal surfaces. These systems work by applying a small electrical current to a metal surface, which creates an electrolytic reaction that neutralizes the corrosion-causing agents in the surrounding environment. This allows for the prolonged service life of metal surfaces, […]
Corrosion protection for ships refers to the methods and techniques used to prevent or slow down the deterioration of metal surfaces of ships due to the chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment. It is important to protect ships from corrosion, as this can affect the performance, safety, and longevity of ships. Corrosion protection for […]
Cathodic protection and sacrificial anode are closely related concepts, but they are not exactly the same thing. Cathodic protection refers to a method of protecting metal surfaces from corrosion by making them the cathode of an electrochemical cell. This is achieved by connecting the metal surface to a more easily corroded metal (known as the […]
Hull fouling, also known as biofouling, refers to the accumulation of marine organisms, such as algae, barnacles, and mussels, on the hull of ships, boats, and other structures that are in contact with seawater. This can happen to all types of ships, from cargo ships and tankers to naval vessels and pleasure boats. Hull fouling […]
Marine growth, also known as biofouling, is the accumulation of aquatic organisms on submerged surfaces over time, which can have a negative impact on the efficiency of ships and vessels and can also be a hazard to navigation. The good news is that there are several ways to prevent marine growth on vessels, these methods […]
Marine growth refers to the growth of plants and animals in the marine environment, such as in the ocean or on coastal structures. This can include things like seaweed, barnacles, and mussels. These organisms can attach themselves to the surfaces of boats, ships, offshore oil and gas platforms, and other structures in the marine environment, […]
The use of anodes, also known as sacrificial anodes, is a crucial part of preventing marine growth on ships. Anodes are used in cathodic protection systems, which work to protect the metal surfaces of ships from corrosion caused by contact with salt water. When an anode is placed in contact with the metal it is […]
Cathodic protection for ships refers to the use of cathodic protection systems to protect the metal surfaces of ships, such as the hull, from corrosion caused by contact with salt water. This is done by attaching a more easily corroded metal (known as the sacrificial anode) to the metal surface that needs protection, and connecting […]
