Abstract

The efficiency of cathodic protection of steel in seawater is partially due to calcareous deposits. To better understand deposits, expericents are conducted testing the effects of variables such as tecperature, velocity, and applied current, on film formation and protection capabilities. It is the intent of this thesis to investigate differences in using recirculating seawater rather than once-through seawater in these experiments. It is believed that these differences were caused by an increase in dissolved organics in the recirculating bath. Data is in the form of current needed to maintain a potential of -1.0v SCE since differences in current help describe differences in film properties.
