Abstract

It is well recognized that the electrochemistry modifications within cathodically protected fatigue crevices in seawater has pronounced effect on crack growth rate. This study focuses its attention on potential distribution within simulated fatigue crevice as a function of electrolyte velocity, fatigue frequency and cathodic protection potential. Results of salt water electrolyte and seawater electrolyte are compared to bring about the effect of calcareous deposits, Finally, a mathematical model based on mass transfer laws is developed to rationalise potential distribution trends within fatigue crevice and are compared with the observed behaviour.
