What is Levels of Cathodic Protection Explained about?

Cathodic protection involves polarizing metal surfaces to more negative potentials to slow or stop corrosion. Full protection of steel is usually achieved at potentials more negative than -800 mV vs Ag/AgCl in seawater or -850 mV vs Cu/CuSO4 in soil. Measurement of protection potentials is used to determine if cathodic protection systems are adequately protecting structures. However, over-protection can cause hydrogen embrittlement in some steels or alkaline damage to coatings.
