Vi. Sorokin et al., EFFECTS OF CURRENT INTENSITY AND PULSE DURATION ON POLARIZATION RESISTANCE OF STEEL-20 IN TAP WATER MEASURED ON COMPUTER-AIDED UNIT, Protection of metals, 31(6), 1995, pp. 602-604
The effects of the polarizing current intensity and pulse duration on
polarization resistance R(p) and coefficient K, which relates it to th
e corrosion rate of low-carbon steel 20 in tap water, were studied. Th
ick films of corrosion products that form on the surface affect R(p) a
nd K. The data were used in the algorithm of the working program that
was elaborated for a microprocessor system to measure the corrosion ra
te.
