Abstract

The present research project aims to characterize the theoretical methodology for anti-corrosive electronic protection, verifying results obtained from the field experiments to date. The work is divided into nine stages. Stage 1: implementation of electrical and electro-chemical experiments in laboratory; stage 2: the taking of measurements in the field and in the laboratory; stage 3: implementation of immersion trials in synthetic sea water, in synthetic sewer water; in a diluted solution of sulfuric acid, in a diluted solution of hydrochloric acid, in a diluted solution of sodium hydroxide and in water from the public supply; stage 4: implementation of soil corrosion tests; stage 5: implementation of accelerated corrosion tests; stage 6: implementation of field tests to verify the protective efficiency in marine atmosphere, urban atmosphere and industrial atmosphere; stage 7: evaluation of the body of evidence derived from the tests in stages 3 to 6; stage 8: simulation and analysis of the types of corrosive action in the body of evidence; stage 9: analysis of the results and establishment of criteria for the correct use and dimensioning of Ox-Free.
