Galvanized protective coatings have been used for structural steel to mitigate steel corrosion in atmospheric exposures and chloride-rich marine environments. The galvanizing process involves dipping steel elements free of surface mill scale in a molten zinc bath where the diffusion of zinc into the steel matrix allows for zinc-iron alloy layers of decreasing zinc concentrations by depth to form in the steel. Oher elements such as tin, antimony and aluminum may be added to the galvanizing bath to control reaction rates, surface appearance and corrosion behavior. Hot-dipped galvanizing provides corrosion protection by developing a barrier layer and in certain conditions provide beneficial galvanic coupling of the zinc-rich layers to the steel.

Protective coatings for structural steel bridges include galvanized steel. The zinc alloy layers of galvanized steel provide beneficial galvanic coupling with the steel substrate to mitigate corrosion activity. However, coating defects exposing the steel substrate to the chloride exposure environments can affect the zinc corrosion activity and thus the mitigation of steel corrosion. Electrochemical measurements including open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance, and the electrochemical noise (EN) technique were conducted on coated steel plates with defects subjected to various chloride solutions to identify the zinc activity and steel corrosion. The EN testing was used to identify the local electrochemical activity of the zinc and the steel substrate and corrosion mitigation afforded by the coatings when subjected to a chloride solution.

Impressed current rectifiers are the backbone of a pipeline operator’s cathodic protection (CP) systems. A rectifier’s ability to protect a large length of electrically continuous pipeline considerably improves efficiencies and reduces material costs as compared to galvanic systems. However, like galvanic anodes, impressed current anodes are a consumable asset, and require replacement at the end of their service life to ensure that the rectifier can continue to adequately protect the pipeline.

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is the most significant cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. Exposure to de-icing salts, seawater and chloride-containing set accelerators can play a significant role in reinforcing steel corrosion. Long-term exposure to carbon dioxide is also cited as a contributor to the corrosion of steel in concrete as well.

There are several ways to validate the performance of a cathodic protection (CP) system for buried pipelines. Over the years, pipeline networks and their corrosion challenges have become increasingly complicated, not least due to the many sources of both AC and DC interference that affects CP operation. Also, the various measurement techniques that can be applied to test CP effectiveness has increased over the years. Finally, the sheer number of buried pipeline miles has been constantly increasing.
