Remote Sensing of Crevice Corrosion. Phase I
Abstract
In the Phase I SBIR program entitled 'Remote Sensing of Crevice Corrosion', we demonstrated the feasibility of an electrochemical/magnetic field technique for detecting crevice corrosion. Crevice corrosion is a form of localized corrosion that occurs within crevices or at shielded surfaces where stagnant solution is present. Crevice corrosion is particularly problematic for the Navy in networks of seawater piping where the numerous gasketed junctions are susceptible to crevice corrosion. Since the crevice corrosion is almost always confined to within the crevice itself, the pipe joints must be periodically disassembled and visually inspected for crevice corrosion. This process is tedious, time consuming, expensive, and subjective.
