    Cathodic Protection

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses corrosion and cathodic protection. Corrosion is the degradation of metals through chemical or electrochemical reaction with the environment. Cathodic protection is a method to control corrosion by making the metal surface a cathode. There are two main types - galvanic/sacrificial anode systems where a more reactive metal acts as the anode, and impressed current systems where a power supply generates a protective current. Cathodic protection is commonly used for underground pipelines, storage vessels, tanks, and ships.

    CATHODIC PROTECTION

    CORROSION CONTROL
    CORROSION

     Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a


    more chemically-stable form such as oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide
     Its is the gradual destruction of materials, usually happens by chemical
    or electrochemical reaction with their environment.
     The corrosion of metals is an electrochemical process in which the
    metal is being oxidized by its surroundings
     The Corrosion metals, in particular steel in an aqueous environment
    which can be either soil or water, occurs because the metal interact
    with the local environment.
    TYPE OF CORROSION

     Galvanic corrosion is extraordinarily common, and occurs when two metals with different
    electrochemical charges are linked via a conductive path. Corrosion occurs when metal ions move from
    the anodized metal to the cathodic metal.
     Stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) -When subjected to extreme tensile stress, a metal component can
    experience SCC along the grain boundary—cracks form, which are then targets for further corrosion.
     General corrosion - When metal, specifically steel, is exposed to water, the surface is oxidized and a
    thin layer of rust appears. Like galvanic corrosion, general corrosion is also electrochemical. In order to
    prevent oxidation, a preventative coating must interfere with the reaction.
     Localized corrosion occurs when a small part of a component experiences corrosion or comes in
    contact with specific corrosion-causing stresses. Because the small “local” area corrodes at a much fast
    rate than the rest of the component, and the corrosion works alongside other processes such as stress
    and fatigue, the end result is much worse than the result of stress or fatigue alone.
     Caustic agent corrosion occurs when impure gas, liquids, or solids wear a material down. Although
    most impure gases do not damage metal in dry form, when exposed to moisture they dissolve to form
    harmful corrosive droplets. Hydrogen sulfide is an example of one such caustic agent.
    WHAT IS CATHODIC PROTECTION
    AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

     Cathodic protection is a method of corrosion control that can be applied


    to buried and submerged metallic structures
     It is normally used in conjunction with coatings and can be considered
    as a secondary corrosion control technique
    WHAT IS CATHODIC PROTECTION

     Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion


    of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell.
    A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a
    more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode.
    METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING
    CATHODCI PROTECTION
    HISTORY OF CATHODCI PROTECTION
    TYPE OF CATHODIC PROTECTION

    The main types of cathodic protection systems are

    GALVANIC PROTECTION or SACRIFITIAL ANODE


     and
    IMPRESSED CURRENT SYSTEMS
    GALVANIC PROTECTION OR
    SACRIFICIAL ANODE SYSTEM

     In galvanic protection or sacrificial anode system a metal anode is electrically


    linked to the structure to be protected which is more reactive to the surrounding
    corrosive environment than the structure which is to be protected. The sacrificial anode
    corrodes, protecting the metal of the structure being protected.
     The anodes connected to the protected structure have a natural potential that is more
    negative than the structure’s. When connected current flows from the anode (more
    negative potential) to the structure (less negative potential) in a DC circuit.
    ICCP or IMPRESSED CURRENT
    CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM

     In many applications, the potential difference between the


    galvanic/sacrificial anode and the steel structure is not enough to
    generate sufficient current for protection to occur. In these cases, a
    power supply (rectifier) is used to generate larger potential differences,
    enabling more current to flow to the structure being protected. This is
    referred to as an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system.
    AREA OF APPLICATION

     UNDERGROUND PIPING OR PIPELINE


     STORAGE VESSELS
     TANKS
     SHIPS
