Earlier, We had discussed about the theory behind the use of Impressed current cathodic protection. To refer the aforesaid post, visit https://electricalfundablog.com/blog/?p=731 . Lets discuss how the operation ...
Theory behind Impressed current cathodic protection
Impressed current cathodic protection is a method for ship’s hull protection. But, before discussing the Impressed current cathodic protection, its important to know the theory and history of cathodic protection. Cathodic Protection is a method ...
Sacrificial Anodes
In this type of system, the ship’s hull is forced to become a cathode with respect to electrodes that are positive with respect to the ship’s hull. The electrodes used for this purpose are Zinc, Magnesium ...
Hull protection methods
Paints alone cannot accord complete protection to underwater hull. Areas above keel blocks are not always possible to protect by painting. Stern areas suffer erosion due to high turbulence caused by propeller. In these areas, chances ...
