Understanding Polarization and Corrosion Rates
Review polarization and its impact on corrosion rates in pipeline systems. Learn how the connection between different metals, such as aluminum and steel, can create potential differences leading to increased corrosion. We also explore the importance of polarization diagrams in assessing the open circuit potential and its effects on metal corrosion. This essential knowledge is crucial for pipeline engineers looking to mitigate corrosion risks and ensure the longevity and safety of their pipeline assets.
