Elements of Corrosion: How to Prevent Pipeline Degradation
Here Joe Pikas discusses the four crucial elements required for corrosion to occur in pipelines: an anode, a cathode, a return path, and an electrolyte such as water or moisture. Understanding these components is key to preventing corrosion. By removing any one of these elements, you can effectively halt the corrosion process. Learn about strategies like applying protective coatings to block the formation of anodes on metal surfaces and interrupting the return path within the pipeline steel. This essential knowledge helps pipeline engineers protect their assets and maintain pipeline integrity.
