Galvanic Corrosion On Monel K-500 And 1018 Carbon Steel Couple, John K. Nnyanzi
Galvanic Corrosion On Monel K-500 And 1018 Carbon Steel Couple, John K. Nnyanzi
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The purpose of this research project was to evaluate galvanic damage on 1018 Carbon Steel coupled to Monel K-500 at varying rotation speeds on a rotating cylinder electrode in an aerated solution of ASTM artificial seawater. The work in this project is and attempt to study corrosion behavior for a Monel fastener coupled to a Carbon Steel plate. Polarization curves of each material at different rotation speeds were created to predict the corrosion behavior for a galvanic couple of Carbon Steel and Monel. The Potentiodynamic sweeps predict an increase in the corrosion current density for the galvanic couple when then …
