Abstract

Aiming at the situation of surface coating spalling of water pipeline in a hydropower plant in South China due to extremely humid operating environment, the corrosion mechanism of carbon steel pipelines and the influence of different impressed currents on the corrosion of pipelines under the combined action of impressed current cathodic protection and coating were studied by using the simulation experiment device with the application of both impressed current cathodic protection and coating. Results showed that at the initial stage of corrosion, the more negative the cathodic protection potential applied to the sample,the lower the corrosion rate of the sample. However,with the extension of the corrosion time, the corrosion rate of the sample at the normal cathodic protection potential (-1.20 V≤E≤-0.85 V) (vs SCE, the same below) was the lowest after 60 days of corrosion, and the excessively negative cathodic protection potential (≤-1.20 V) would cause cathodic stripping of the surface coating on the sample. In addition,under normal (-1.20 V≤E≤-0.85 V) and over-protection (≤-1.20 V) cathodic protection potential, the corrosion products of samples were relatively compact and flat. By contrast, under the conditions of no cathodic protection and under-protected cathodic protection potential (≥-0.85 V), the corrosion products of the samples were fine and loose particles.
