Description
The effect of substrate finish and composition, flow rate and exposure duration on the composition, morphology and protective properties of calcareous deposits formed during cathodic polarization of several steels in seawater has been investigated. The current density behaviour of the scale formation in conjunction with morphology and composition characteristics indicated that the substrate finish and composition did not influence the nucleation or growth of the deposit. The results strongly suggest a relationship between electrolyte velocity, current density behaviour and morphology. With increased flow and consequent higher current density requirements, results indicated a low nucleation rate of CaCO3. The current density behaviour and composition of the calcareous deposit revealed a growth progression of a Mg rich film formed in the first few minutes, followed by an increasingly uniform surface coverage by CaCO3 in the form of aragonite.
