Abstract
This project is split into two parts. The first revolves around AC interference on pipeline steel under cathodic protection. The corrosion rate of steel samples will be measured after they are exposed to varying levels of AC interference and cathodic protection. The results will be used to help develop new guidelines for appropriate cathodic protection of steel pipelines. The second part of this project revolves around the cathodic disbondment of pipeline coatings while under cathodic protection. The disbondment distance, electrolyte pH, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy will be tested for multiple industry standard coatings under various conditions. The results will be used to help elevate the industry's understanding of cathodic disbondment of pipeline coatings.
