Corrosion is a major Economic, Environmental,and Safety Problem which adversely affects our Nation, as well as many of our military facilities.
Impact of Corrosion
![Page 4: Cathodic Protection Requirements for Military Projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815569550346895dc33301/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Corrosion is the deteriorationof a material, usually a metal, because of a reaction with itsenvironment.
What is Corrosion?

Types of Corrosion Cells
• Dissimilar Metal Cell• Concentration Cell• Differential Aeration
Cell• Stray Current Cell
• Stress Cell• New Pipe and Old
Pipe Cell• Motion Cell• Combination Cell• Temperature Cell

Corrosion Control mustbe properly addressed duringthe design, installation, and subsequent operation of systems adversely affectedby the corrosion process.
Corrosion Can Be Controlled
![Page 8: Cathodic Protection Requirements for Military Projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815569550346895dc33301/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Corrosion Control Methods
• Protective Coatings• Design• Environmental
Control• Material Selection• Cathodic Protection
![Page 9: Cathodic Protection Requirements for Military Projects](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815569550346895dc33301/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Protective Coatings
• Normally first line of defense against corrosion: provides barrier between a corrosive environment and the structure.
• No coating is perfect and consists of holidays (voids) often resulting from improper application and/or damage.
• Cathodic Protection often used in conjunction with coatings to protect the holidays or voids in the coating system.

Summary
• Corrosion is costly and its effects can cause harm to our environment, as well as to human life.
• Cathodic Protection can effectively control corrosion.
• Cathodic protection is required by many laws and regulations and must be designed by qualified personnel.
