MODEL TESTS OF ELECTROCHEMICAL PROTECTION AGAINST CORROSION OF SHIPS’ HULLS AND DETERMINATION OF EFFECT OF PROPELLERS ON THE CONDITIONS OF FUNCTIONING OF THIS PROTECTION

摘要

This article discusses the methodology of model tests of electrochemical protection and the nature of distribution of potential over the hull of a ship with different versions of protection and cathode shields. The expediency of using these devices in combination with lacquer paint coatings is demonstrated. On the basis of theoretical and experimental investigations, recommendations are made for appraisal of the effect of the propeller during design of an electrochemical protection system for the submerged parts of ships’ hulls.
