Effect of Cathodic Protection on Low-Cycle Corrosion Fatigue of HY-80 Steel at Slow Cycle Rates

Abstract

The application of cathodic protection extends the fatigue life of HY-80 in salt water, and this would be expected to be the more marked the lower the cycle rate. The intrusion of a hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon, however, precludes retention of air fatigue life in salt water by cathodic protection if the cycle rate is slow.
