Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for forming anticorrosive coating and more specifically to a process for forming anticorrosive coating on a marine steel structure in a short period.
  • a process for anticorrosion of a marine steel structure has been proposed in which the steel structure is used as a cathode, an anode being arranged in seawater to be opposed to the steel structure. Direct current is passed between the electrodes to form coating (anticorrosive coating) on the steel structure through electrolytic reaction of the seawater, thereby attaining anticorrosion of the steel structure.
  • Reference 1 discloses that a steel member constituting a surface of a marine steel structure is used as a cathode, an anode being arranged in seawater to be opposed to the steel member. Direct current is passed between the electrodes to remove rust and the like scales on the surface of the steel structure. Then, direct current is passed between the electrodes to deposit electrodeposit, which has electrolytic reaction product of the seawater as dominant constituent, on the surface and any corroded pores of the steel structure, thereby forming anticorrosive coating. [Reference 1] JP10-313728A
  • the coating formed as mentioned above on the marine steel structure through electrolytic reaction of the seawater has calcium carbonate CaCO 3 and magnesium hydrate Mg(OH) 2 as main components.
  • CaCO 3 calcium carbonate formed hard in hardness that exhibits anticorrosive effect. Therefore, in order to make a marine steel structure anticorrosive, anticorrosive coating having calcium carbonate as dominating component must be formed on the steel structure.
  • composition ratio of calcium carbonate in the coating is high and that of magnesium hydrate is low.
  • composition ratio of calcium carbonate is decreased and that of magnesium hydrate is increased. It is regarded that good anticorrosion property is obtained when coating composition ratio of calcium carbonate to magnesium hydrate is 1 or more.
  • the conventional process for forming anticorrosive coating as disclosed in Reference 1 requires long construction period and long-term management and is costly due to increased electric power consumption, so that the process has not been practically applied except special cases such as bridge piers at sites in deep water or in violent tidal current.
  • the invention was made in view of the above and has its object to provide a process for forming anticorrosive coating which can be conducted cheaply in a short period, thereby easily leading to general application to marine steel structures.
  • the invention is directed to a process for forming anticorrosive coating on a marine steel structure wherein the steel structure is used as a cathode, an anode being arranged in seawater to be opposed to said steel structure, direct current being passed between the electrodes, anticorrosive coating being formed on the steel structure through electrolytic reaction of the seawater, thereby attaining anticorrosion of the marine steel structure, characterized by passing the electric current between the electrodes so as to have current density to form coating having magnesium hydrate as dominant constituent on said marine steel structure, thereby forming the coating with a predetermined thickness, then stopping supply of the electric current to thereby provide anticorrosive coating through compositional substitution effect which occurs in the presence of the seawater to substitute calcium carbonate for the magnesium hydrate.
  • the electric current is passed between the electrodes so as to attain current density of the marine steel structure in a range of 3 to 10 A/m 2 .
  • a process for forming anticorrosive coating of the invention electric current is passed between electrodes so as to keep high current density of a marine steel structure, so that coating with magnesium hydrate as dominant constituent is formed on the steel structure in a short period. Then, supply of the electric current is stopped to utilize a compositional substitution effect which occurs in the presence of the seawater to substitute calcium carbonate for the magnesium hydrate, thereby forming anticorrosive coating.
  • the invention has an effect that it can form good anticorrosive coating with calcium carbonate as dominant constituent in by far a shorter period than ever before.
  • the invention has an effect that it can be easily applicable to any kind of marine steel structures unlike the conventional process with limited applicability to special sites.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view exemplifying equipment components in application of a process for forming anticorrosive coating according to the invention to a steel caisson of a breakwater which is an example of a marine steel structure; and Fig. 3, a front view looking in the direction of arrows III in Fig. 2.
  • reference numeral 1 denotes steel caissons which constitute a breakwater; 2, a DC power supply on arranged for example on a top of the steel caisson 1; and 3, undersea members suspended in seawater to be opposed in a predetermined distance to the submerged surface of the steel caisson 1 and spaced from each other by a predetermined distance and in parallel with the surface of the steel caisson 1.
  • the undersea members 3 may be made from soluble material such as magnesium or aluminum or insoluble material such as titanium.
  • the DC power supply 2 is connected at its minus (-) side to the steel caisson 1 so as to use the steel caisson 1 as a cathode and is connected at its plus (+) side to the undersea member 3 so as to use the undersea member 3 as an anode.
  • Such construction is made to each of the plural steel caissons 1.
  • a predetermined constant current is passed between the electrodes, i.e., between the steel caisson 1 and the undersea member 3 by the DC power supply 2, so that deposited coating is formed on the steel caisson 1 through electrolytic reaction of the seawater.
  • monitoring electrodes 4 are arranged at plural points on the submerged surface of each steel caisson 1, a monitoring unit 5 being arranged for example on the top of the steel caisson 1 so as to determine and display electric potential from detected values of the respective monitoring electrodes 4.
  • the monitoring unit 5 severs for checking that electric current with a predetermined current density is passed through the steel caisson 1 through application of constant electric current on the steel caisson 1 by the DC power supply 2.
  • a constant-potential system which keeps constant the electric potential (voltage) of the steel caisson 1.
  • the monitoring unit 5 may have the function of a controller for automatically controlling the voltage of the DC power supply 2 so as to keep the detected electric potential to be a predetermined constant potential.
  • Fig. 4 shows the fact that, as the current density is increased, the generated amount calcium carbonate is rapidly increased into its peak with the current density being 0.5 A/m 2 or so; as the current density is further increased, then the generated amount of calcium carbonate tends to be rapidly decreased.
  • Fig. 5 shows the fact that, as the current density is increased up to about 7A/m 2 , the generated amount of magnesium hydrate is increased toward its peak; as the current density is further increased, then the generated amount of magnesium hydrate tends to be decreased.
  • Fig. 5 The data shown in Fig. 5 are those in laboratory experiment with still water condition, so that in actual sea areas, electrodeposition efficiency may be lowered due to effect of tidal current (see, for example, Honshi-Giho Vol. 24, No. 95 (Dec. 2000 )) .
  • tidal current see, for example, Honshi-Giho Vol. 24, No. 95 (Dec. 2000 )
  • tests were conducted with respect to generated amount of coating in real sea areas to find out that an optimum range of current density in real sea areas is 3 to 10 A/m 2 .
  • the coating formed on the steel caisson 1 has magnesium hydrate as dominant constituent (for example, 95% of magnesium hydrate), failing to be anticorrosive coating.
  • the inventors made researches so as to change the coating with magnesium hydrate as dominant constituent and formed in a short period as mentioned above into anticorrosive coating with calcium carbonate as dominant constituent and found out that compositional substitution effect occurs in seawater to substitute calcium carbonate for the magnesium hydrate, thereby utilizing such effect to attain formation of anticorrosive coating.
  • the inventors used experimental equipment similar to that shown in Figs. 2 and 3 to conduct tests for forming coating so as to ascertain the above-mentioned compositional substitution effect.
  • cathode substrate in opposed relationship to the steel caisson 1 is made from SS(stainless steel)400 and the anode member corresponding to the undersea member 3 is made from Mg, using natural seawater with temperature of 25°C with the current applying condition of current density being 3 A/m 2 .
  • coating test for 30 hours was conducted.
  • thickness L of the coating 7 generated on the cathode substrate 6 in the test was detected to be 105 ⁇ m.
  • the composition obtained in chemical analysis of the coating 7 was, as shown in Fig. 8, about 5% of calcium carbonate and about 95% of magnesium hydrate, most of the composition being magnesium hydrate.
  • reaction formula (1) occurs to bring about the reaction formula (2), leading to the reaction formula (3).
  • Mg(OH) 2 ⁇ Mg 2+ + 2OH - (1) Ca 2+ + H 2 CO 3 + 2OH - ⁇ CaCO 3 + 2H 2 O (2)
  • the coating 7 with magnesium hydrate as dominant constituent as shown in Fig. 6 is replaced by calcium carbonate through the above-mentioned compositional substitution effect to thereby form, as shown in Fig. 7, the hard anticorrosive coating having calcium carbonate as dominant constituent with no substantial change in thickness L.
  • the electric current applying condition was the current density of 3 A/m 2 . That is, the experiments were conducted with lower current density since the coating tends to fall off in the case of the experimental equipment with no flows of seawater. However, it turned out that in actual natural seawater with flows, coating can be formed well with no falling-off even if the process is conducted with the current density of as high as 3 to 10 A/m 2 .
  • anticorrosive coating according to the invention can be formed in a very short period on the order of one month or one month and a half. This facilitates the process management and brings about reduction in electricity consumption, resulting in decrease in cost. Therefore, with no limitation to the special sites unlike the conventional process, the invention can be easily applied to any kinds of marine steel structures.
