| Description |
The corrosion and biofouling characteristics of
mild steel were investigated in the waters of the
Mandapam coast of India over a year's time. Field
exposure and laboratory studies were conducted.
Corrosion rates were measured by gravimetric and Tafel
polarization. Algae and barnacles were the dominant
fouling species. Corrosion products were analyzed by
x-ray diffraction and surface analysis by scanning
electron microscopy. The effect of micro- and macrofouling
on the corrosion rate was investigated. The annual
corrosion rate of mild steel was 0.152 mmpy with a fouling
load of 0.89 kg/m2.
