After a seven month exposure period, the control and polarized samples were taken out of the intake canal and tested for corrosion, microbiological fouling and surface chemistry. Deposits and corrosion products were further tested using EDX and Auger analyses. A correlation between the sample polarization and the results of different surface analyses is presented.
