Abstract
Los dispositivos instalados en el océano están sujetos a un ambiente hostil donde corrosión, cavitación y corrosión–erosión constituyen problemas corrientes que requieren mantenimiento preventivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue establecer consideraciones relativas a alcances y límites en la utilización de algunos materiales que se suelen emplear con frecuencia en ambiente marino. A tal fin, se estudió el comportamiento a la corrosión por picado de dos aceros inoxidables convencionales tipo AISI 304 y AISI 430, aluminio y aluminio anodizado mediante el empleo de técnicas electroquímicas (curvas de polarización). Se utilizaron dos electrolitos: agua de mar y agua dela desembocadura del rio Chubut. Las pruebas electroquímicas han evidenciado que el material menos resistente a la corrosión localizada fue el aluminio y el más resistente fue el aluminio anodizado. Un comportamiento intermedio fue presentado por los aceros AISI 304 y AISI 430, resultado a subrayar ya que es frecuente asignar a estos materiales inmunidad a la corrosión en ambiente marino.
Devices installed in the ocean are subject to a harsh environment where corrosion, cavitation and corrosion-erosion are common problems requiring preventative maintenance. The objective of the present work was to establish considerations related to the scope and limits in the use of some materials that are frequently used in the marine environment. To this objective, the pitting corrosion behavior of two conventional stainless steels such as AISI 304 and AISI 430, aluminum and anodized aluminum was studied using electrochemical techniques (polarization curves) in the laboratory. Two electrolytes were used: sea water and water from the mouth of the Chubut River. Electrochemical tests have shown that the least resistant material to localized corrosion was aluminum and the most resistant was anodized aluminum. An intermediate behavior was presented by the AISI 304 and AISI 430 steels, a result to underline since it is common to assign these materials immunity to corrosion in the marine environment.
