BEASY Corrosion and CP

Metal structures will corrode in aggressive environments if they are left unprotected. Surface coatings will inhibit the corrosion process, but for long term protection a cathodic protection system with sacrificial anodes or impressed anodes are used. The se systems set up an electrostatic field in the electrolyte (eg Sea Water) which can protect the structure from corrosion if the correct level of the electrical potential is achieved. The designer's task is to determine the location and capacity of the an odes so that the whole structure is protected efficiently.

BEASY Corrosion and CP can be used by the designer to predict the potential levels both on a structure and in the electrolyte and determine the current levels on the structure and anodes. Build up of calcareas scale can be simulated and the long term beha viour of the system predicted.

Cathodic protection is just one application of the software. It is used for the simulation of general galvanic problems where any number of electrolytes and materials can be modelled.

BEASY Corrosion and CP can be used to study any electrostatic problem and can also be applied to stray current corrosion problems, electrodeposition problems and computing the electric field surrounding any system.
