Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Wind Power Structures in
Marine Environments: Volume 2: Corrosion Protection Measures offers
the first comprehensive review on corrosion and corrosion
protection of offshore wind power structures. The book extensively
discusses corrosion phenomena and corrosion types in different
marine corrosion zones, including the modeling of corrosion
processes and interactions between corrosion and structural
stability. The book addresses important design issues, namely
materials selection relevant to their performance in marine
environments, corrosion allowance, and constructive design. Active
and passive corrosion protection measures are emphasized, with
special sections on cathodic corrosion protection and the use of
protective coatings. Seawater related issues associated with
cathodic protection, such as calcareous deposit formation, hydrogen
formation, and fouling, are discussed. With respect to protective
coatings, the book considers, for the first time, complete loading
scenarios, including corrosive loads, mechanical loads, and special
loads, and covers a wide range of coating materials. Problems
associated with fouling and bacterial-induced corrosion are
extensively reviewed. The book closes with a chapter on recent
developments in maintenance strategies, inspection techniques, and
repair technologies. The book will be of special interest to
materials scientists, materials developers, corrosion engineers,
maintenance engineers, civil engineers, steel work designers,
mechanical engineers, marine engineers, chemists, and coating
specialists. Offshore wind power is an emerging renewable
technology and a key factor for a cleaner environment. Offshore
wind power structures are situated in a demanding and challenging
marine environment. The structures are loaded in a complex way,
including mechanical loads and corrosive loads. Corrosion is one of
the major limiting factors to the reliability and performance of
the technology. Maintenance and repair of corrosion protection
systems are particularly laborious and costly.
