Abstract

The protection of carbon steel in freshwater media has been examined via two techniques (Impressed current cathodic and coating). This paper shows the reduction of corrosion rates under different conditions. Experimental tests were carried out for two types of steel (bared, coated) and with ICCP/without ICCP in stagnant and flowing freshwater. The results showed there was a variation in the values of potential according to the formation of the protection layer on the surface of steel plates. Furthermore, this layer showed such an excellent protection for both steels with ICCP in stagnant and flowing freshwater, where the values of potential had decreased from -840mV to -875 mV. However, the values of potential had increased from -702 mV to -630 mV for the coated steel without ICCP. On the other hand, the values of potential slightly fluctuated up to -10 mV for the bare steel without ICCP. The reason behind this increase is attributed to the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the steel plate.
