About this document
Stray Current-Induced Crevice Corrosion by Edgar Hornus is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses an investigation into corrosion of stainless steel propeller shafts on several ships within 12 days of launching. Laboratory experiments were able to reproduce the observed corrosion and determined that it was caused by crevice corrosion initiated and promoted by stray currents passing through the shafts. A prototype instrument was developed to automatically measure current flow and potential differences, providing further evidence that stray currents caused the corrosion. Proper sha
