Executive Summary | Metal sheathing has been employed to prevent corrosion of steel structures in tidal and splash zones in marine environments. Seawater-resistant stainless steel has been used as sheathing material. However, dissimilar metal corrosion occurs where steel comes into contact with stainless steel. The main objective of this study was to investigate the cathodic protection characteristics at the area where dissimilar metal corrosion occurs. A method of estimating the consumption of a sacrificial anode is discussed. |
