Abstract

The influence of impressed current density and potential upon the nature of calcareous deposits formed . on a cathodic steel surface has been investigated. The experiments included potentiostatic, galvanostatic and mixed mode combined galvanostatic and potentiostatic techniques for affecting polarization. Specific attention was focused upon the thickness, morphology and composition of the deposits. A Mg 2+ depletion model has been developed as a possible explanation for the nucleation and growth behavior of calcareous deposits formed under combined mode operation.
