Accelerated Testing of Corrosion

这是一项支持研究的奖项，其目标是找到一种相对短期的程序，可以用来预测与水接触的材料的长期腐蚀行为。该研究将腐蚀加速电流的使用与腐蚀速率的电化学测定相结合。该提案是根据NSF 92-122“研究启动奖励计划公告和指南”提交的。用于建造配水系统的材料在很长一段时间内都会受到腐蚀。腐蚀会降低系统组件的有效寿命，并对水质产生潜在的影响。在配水系统的工程设计中，一个能充分确定腐蚀影响的短期程序是有用的。

9309078 Edwards This is an award to support research, the objective of which is to find a relatively short-term procedure that can be utilized to predict the long-term corrosion behavior of materials that are used in contact with water. The research involves coupling the use of corrosion-accelerating electrical currents with electrochemical determination of the corrosion rate. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to NSF 92-122, Research Initiation Awards Program Announcement and Guidelines. Materials used in constructing water distribution systems are subject to corrosion over long periods of time. Corrosion reduces the effective life of the system's components and has a potentially degrading effect on the quality of the water. A short-term procedure that will adequately determine the effect of corrosion can be useful in the engineering design of water distribution systems.
