Midterm (SEAM 4 Quizzes) Flashcards
the process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
Diffusion
occurs when two dissimilar metals are present in an electrolytic medium
Electrochemical Corrosion
when metals collect this, an electrochemical reaction causes the steel to corrode
Moisture
when a refined metal is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide state this leads to deterioration of the material
Corrosion
– metals or alloys attached to the hull that have a more anodic, i.e. less noble, potential than steel when immersed in sea water
– supply the cathodic protection current, but will be consumed in doing so and therefore require replacement for the protection to be maintained
Sacrificial Anodes
– a means of preventing electrochemical wastage is required
– a system of preventing corrosion by forcing all surfaces of a structure (e.g. hull) to be cathodes by providing external anodes
Cathodic Protection
the positive or oxidizing electrode that acquires electrons from the external circuit and is reduced during the electrochemical reaction
Cathode
the negative or reducing electrode that releases electrons to the external circuit and oxidizes (corrode) during and electrochemical reaction
Anode
– consists of a number of anodes (lead or platinised titanium) fitted to the hull at
selected places below the waterline, and control equipment which automatically
regulates the anode current to the required value
– consists of anodes connected to a DC power source
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)
the manual required on all types of ships engaged in the carriage of all cargoes other than solid and liquid bulk cargoes
Cargo Securing Manual
– everywhere, incur a measure of liability for the safety of the goods
– in common-law countries, liable for any damage or for the loss of the goods that are in their possession as carriers, unless they prove that the damage or loss is attributable to certain excepted causes
Carriers
cargo units, including containers, shall be loaded, stowed and secured throughout the voyage in accordance with it approved by the Administration
Cargo Securing Manual
a chemical substance, usually a liquid, which contains hydrogen and can react with other substances to form salts
Acid
Main Factors influencing the Rate of Corrosion
Diffusion
Temperature
Conductivity
Acid
Types of Ions
Electrochemical Corrosion
a compartment within a boat, ship or other floating structure that holds water
Ballast Tank
the stress a ship’s hull or keel is placed under when a wave is the same length as the ship and the ship is in the trough of two waves
Sagging
How long must Ballast Tanks be inspected?
twelve-monthly basis
Percentage of corrosion in the tank surface for it to require repairs
75%
a sub-component defect caused due to damage to steel platings or material failure
Deformation
The significance of monitoring the condition of sacrificial anodes fitted inside a tank and its contribution to the tank’s integrity
To checked and inspected closely for
excessive wear and tear to maintain integrity
