Popis: The cathodic polarisation behaviour of CA 104 nickel aluminium bronze (NAB) has been examined in fully characterised seawaters (filtered and artificial) using the rotating disc electrode (RDE) and the rotating cylinder electrode (RCE). Linear sweep voltammetry and a potential step, current transient technique were used to examine the charge transfer and mass transfer controlled cathodic response as a function of both laminar and turbulent fluid flow. For freshly polished surfaces, the rate of irreversible charge transfer controlled oxygen reduction is controlled by the exchange of a single electron and hydrogen evolution is only significant at potentials more negative than approximately −1.0 V vs. the saturated calomel electrode (SCE).
