...Four different classes of galvanic primers were investigated in this work: Zn-rich COTS, Mg-rich COTS, Al-rich COTS, and Luna-formulated Al-rich. The COTS products were selected based on a survey conducted with our collaborators at NAVAIR ^† and the University of Virginia with selection...

...Abstract The good performance of galvanic cathodic protection (CP) systems are well documented and recognized in the mitigation of corrosion related damage of steel reinforced concrete (RC) structures located in marine environments. However, in order to obtain suitable performance from these CP...

...Abstract Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where corrosion resistance is required because it has protective layers of aluminum oxide. However, galvanic corrosion can occur when aluminum alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals that have more...

... PROCESSES DESCRIBED BY THE MODEL It is generally agreed that there are three important stages in the localized corrosion process governed by a galvanic coupling mechanism: passivation/depassivation of the steel surface, pit initiation and pit propagation. Each of these processes has its unique mechanism...

... objective was to examine the effect of the initial high current density treatment on the protective current passed during the subsequent galvanic phase of the hybrid treatment and relate these results to an alternative model for steel protection/passivity criteria. EXPERIMENTAL Abstract This work examines...

...INTRODUCTION Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals or alloys are connected into an electrochemical cell. The driving force is the potential difference between the two metals in a conductive corrosive environment. Atoms from the anode surface will be oxidised and transferred...
