Abstract  

The coating degradation and metal corrosion beneath the coating around the water-line zone of an electrode in 3.5%NaCl solution were studied by means of wire beam electrode (WBE) technique. The results showed that at the beginning of the immersion, the distribution of cathode and anode area was mainly affected by the water penetration process of coatings. As the immersion time extended, the effect of water-line zone expanded, while the water-line zone acts as cathode, and the electrode bottom zone acts as anode. Due to the high concentrations of dissolved oxygen of water-line zone, the cathode reaction was strong leading to serious coating degradation and severe corrosion of base metal beneath the coating. The reduction reaction of the dissolved oxygen on the cathode should occur before the initiation of the dissolution reaction of the metal substrate of the electrode. Once a damage spot occurred on the coating, where soon became a strong and stable anode-like area. Then the cathode area developed around the damaged spot of the coating exhibiting degradation characteristics as that observed on the artificial defects made in coating. Around the water-line zone, the degradation process of the coating and the corrosion process of the metal beneath the coating were affected by the water penetration in combination with the water-line effect, which resulted in a corrosion behavior quite vary from that of the bare metal.

Key words:  water-line corrosion      wire beam electrode      coating delamination      current distribution
