| Summary: | This research used Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as a non-destructive technique to evaluate coating performance and determine the electrochemical characteristics of Special Hull Treatments (SHT). The evaluation of the SHT system provided information on its corrosion resistance and cathodic protection-influencing characteristics. The coating's impedance was analyzed while exposed to ambient versus 4.5 MPa pressures and immersion times of 1 to 9 days in seawater. Eleven specimen types were evaluated based on coating seam orientation and composition. The data support the conclusion that there was no effect on impedance values and phase shifts due to orientation, formulation, pressure values or immersion time. However, temperature increase above 30° was shown to decrease the impedance values of the SHT specimens. | |
