Abstract

See full text

Cathodic corrosion protection for surfaces of metallic substrates is provided by carrying out electrolysis, switching off the electrolysis, observing a control voltage and switching on the electrolysis again when the control voltage equals a specified critical voltage. A counterelectrode, which does not corrode significantly by an electrolyte, is provided as an anode. A surface of a substrate services as a cathode. A reference electrode provides a constant electrochemical potential relative to the electrolyte. A potentiostat brings about the electrolysis in the electrolyte. A controller switches on and off the electrolyzing voltage based on a value of the control voltage relative to the specified critical voltage.
