..., the protective ability of the layers covering the steel electrodes was studied using various electrochemical methods, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The layers were characterized by XRD. Findings The protective ability of calcareous deposits was increased in thin seawater films...

... of calcareous deposits in boiling synthetic seawater by using various characterisation tools. Design/methodology/approach Twin wire arc spray was used to coat carbon steel specimens with commercially pure aluminium. Holiday was drilled on the coated surface to expose the underlying steel, amounting to 4 per...
