Abstract

The pulsed potentiostatic polarization technique proposed previously has been applied to evaluate the electrochemical degradation of polyethylene and coal-tar enamel coated SS400 for buried pipeline. The degradation of coated systems was accelerated and evaluated using electrochemical techniques (pulsed potentiostatic polarization test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and surface analyses (scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). It was found that polyethylene coating had better protective performance than coal-tar enamel coating due to its low porosity. It was confirmed that the electrochemically accelerated test is an effective technique in the evaluation of coating performance.
