Cathodic Kinetics During Corrosion of 5456-H117 Aluminum Alloy by High Velocity Sea Water,

Abstract

The purpose of this continuing investigation was to measure limiting oxygen diffusion current densities as a function of sea water velocity, to study cathodic kinetics on 5456-H117 aluminum alloy as a function of velocity and to conduct constant potential tests at more active potentials than -0.9 VSCE. Finally, a model was proposed to explain the observations from this and previous studies.
