Ocean has been studied. T he results of atomic absorption spectroscopy have revealed that E. S. DWARAKADASA the corrosion product present on mild steel coupons is FeOOH. T he results of ex periments M. RAVINDRAN in shallow water have shown that micro-and macrobiologicalgrowths play a signi cant role in the corrosion of ferrous materials. H owever, in deeper waters, the absence of macrofouling was evident, and corrosion was not related to any biological product but mainly to the electrochemicalreaction of these alloys with sea water. T he results of morphological studies by SEM on the surfaces of ex posed specimens are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
