Abstract:This paper presents the results of a study conducted to determine the extent of galvanic corrosion that would be caused by copper-nickel sheathing of offshore steel platforms. The study investigated the effects of selected steel-to-CuNi area ratios on the magnitude and distribution of the galvanic current. One year seawater exposure tests utilizing segmented CuNi-steel pilings were carried out near Ocean City, New Jersey. The results of the study suggest that, for piling configurations and lengths of copper-ni… Show more
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.
