Corrosion and Cathodic Protection of Underwater Surveillance Systems - a General Review of the Problem

摘要

A general review of the problem of corrosion of metallic assemblies for underwater surveillance is given, based on two years observing deep sea corrosion and on extensive technical discussions with personnel in contractors' plants and in Naval activities having cognizance over surveillance systems. Recommendations to minimize corrosion failures in such systems are given. (Author)
