Description: Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Wind Power Structures in Marine Environments: Volume 1: Introduction and Corrosive Loads offers the first comprehensive review on corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind power structures. The book provides extensive discussion on corrosion phenomena and types in different marine corrosion zones including the modeling of corrosion processes and interactions between corrosion and structural stability. The book addresses important design issues namely materials selection relative to performance in marine environments corrosion allowance and constructive design. Active and passive corrosion protection measures are emphasized with special sections on cathodic corrosion protection and the use of protective coatings. Seawater related issues associated with cathodic protection such as calcareous deposit formation hydrogen formation and fouling are discussed. With respect to protective coatings the book considers for the first time complete loading scenarios including corrosive loads mechanical loads and special loads and covers a wide range of coating materials. Problems associated with fouling and bacterial - induced corrosion are extensively reviewed. The book closes with a chapter on recent developments in maintenance strategies inspection techniques and repair technologies. The book is of special interest to materials scientists materials developers corrosion engineers maintenance engineers civil engineers steel work designers mechanical engineers marine engineers. Offshore wind power is an emerging renewable technology and a key factor for a cleaner environment. Offshore wind power structures are situated in a demanding and challenging marine environment. The structures are loaded in a complex way including mechanical loads and corrosive loads. Corrosion is one of the major limiting factors to the reliability and performance of the technology. Maintenance and repair of corrosion protection systems are particularly laborious and costly.
