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. This book is the first comprehensive review on corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind power structures. It provides an extensive discussion on corrosion phenomena and corrosion types in different marine corrosion zones, including the modelling of corrosion processes and the interactions between corrosion and structural stability. The book addresses important design issues, namely material selection with respect to their performance in marine environments, corrosion allowance, and constructive design issues. Active and passive corrosion protection measures are given particular attention 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, chemists, coating specialist, chemical engineers, structural engineers, engineering consultants, and to everyone involved in structural marine projects. Explores the literature between 1950 and 2020 and contains over 2000 references. It is the most complete monograph on the issueCovers all aspects of corrosion protection in detail, including coatings, cathodic protection, corrosion allowance, constructive design as well as maintenance and repair and delivers the most complete review on corrosion of metals in marine/offshore environmentsFocuses on all aspects of offshore wind power structures, namely foundations, towers, internal sections, connection flanges, transformation platforms | Corrosion And Corrosion Protection Of Wind Power Structures In Marine Environments by Andreas Momber, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
