    CATHODIC AND ANODIC PROTECTION

    PART 1
    13. Which of the following is an impressed current anode that is efficient in a
    marine environment?
    a) Platinized titanium
    b) Silicon-iron
    c) Scrap steel
    d) Graphite
    Answer: a
    Explanation: Platinized titanium is an inert anode that is both efficient and expensive in
    nature. It is finding increased applications in marine environments.

    PART 2
    1. Which of the corrosion prevention method is used for reducing the maintenance cost of
    highway and bridges?
    a) Sacrificial anode
    b) Impressed current supply
    c) Anodic protection
    d) Use of inhibitors
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Impressed current supply is used as the corrosion prevention for reducing maintenance
    costs of big metallic structures such as highways and bridges. It also used to reduce the corrosion of
    reinforced steel.

    4. Which of the following metals can be protected using anodic protection?


    a) Nickel and iron
    b) Nickel, iron, and titanium
    c) Titanium only
    d) Nickel, iron, titanium, and magnesium
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Anodic protection can be used only for active-passive transition metals as it provides
    external current for the formation of a passive oxide layer. Active-passive transition metals include
    nickel, iron, aluminum, titanium, and its alloys.

    5. Which of the following is/are factors to consider for organic coatings?


    a) Surface preparation only
    b) Surface preparation and selection of primary coating
    c) Surface preparation and selection of primary and top coatings
    d) Selection of primary and top coatings
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Factors to consider for organic coatings are:
    i. Surface preparation usually is done by sandblasting
    ii. Selection of primary coatings for strong adhesive bonding
    iii. Selection of top coating for appearance and corrosion resistance.

    7. Which of the following is/are the methods for surface preparation for coating application?
    a) Sandblasting and chipping
    b) Wire brushing and flame cleaning
    c) Sandblasting, chipping, wire brushing and flame cleaning
    d) Sandblasting, chipping and flame cleaning
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Methods for surface preparation for coating application are:
    i. Sandblasting
    ii. Wire brushing
    iii. Flame cleaning
    iv. Chipping
    v. Scarping.

    8. Which of the following paints are widely used for corrosion applications?
    a) Vinyl and epoxy paints
    b) Asphalts and bituminous paints
    c) Iron oxide and titanium oxide paints
    d) Alkyds and red lead
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: A variety of paints are available in the market for various corrosion applications. It
    includes asphalts, bituminous paints, red lead, iron oxide, titanium oxide, alkyds, vinyl, and epoxies.
    Among them, vinyl and epoxies are the class of paints that are widely used for corrosion
    applications.
