摘要

The combined effect of alternating current (AC) and cathodic protection (CP) was investigated in a weakly alkaline soil-simulated solution, and the joint mechanism has been illustrated. The results reveal that the superimposition of AC and CP has a dual effect on corrosion and SCC of pipeline steel. Appropriate CP potential range can effectively protect steel from corrosion under AC interference. However, either insufficient or over-protected potentials may cause severe pitting corrosion and increase the risk of SCC. The reason is ascribed to the potential fluctuation range and electrochemical state on steel surface. In this work, large and deep corrosion pits were observed at − 775 mVSCE and − 1200 mVSCE under 10 mA/cm2 AC interference, and the SCC susceptibility was considerably increased. In contrast, the application of CP potentials between − 950 mVSCE and − 1050 mVSCE largely reduced the corrosion and SCC risk under AC interference.
