Description
The efficiency of cathodic protection of steel in seawater
is partially due to calcareous deposits. To better understand
deposits, expericents are conducted testing the effects of variables
such as tecperature, velocity, and applied current, on
film formation and protection capabilities. It is the intent
of this thesis to investigate differences in using recirculating
seawater rather than once-through seawater in these experiments.
It is believed that these differences were caused by an increase
in dissolved organics in the recirculating bath. Data is in
the form of current needed to maintain a potential of -1.0v SCE
since differences in current help describe differences in film
properties.
