Corrosion
Name three types of corrosion
Rust steel and air, Electro chemical corrosion, Bimetallic corrosion, Stray
currents
List three methods of controlling corrosion on-board
- Paint creating a barrier between steel and air
- Sacrificial anodes connecting a more anodic metal to the same circuit
so it corrodes instead of the other metals
- Impressed currents Supplying a continuous current to the metal
cancel the electrolytic effect
What is a sacrificial anode and how does it work?
These are metals which are more base than the other metals situated in an
electrolyte. The ion flow (current) is taken from the anode rather the other
metals in the area.
Name two materials commonly used as sacrificial anodes
Aluminium, magnesium, zinc
Paint
What are the ideal conditions for the application of paints to a surface?
Warm, dry, dust free and unpolluted condition
