Exploring the effect of cathodic polarization to mitigate CRUD deposition

Microstructural Characterization of the Corrosion Product Deposit in the Flow-Accelerated Region in High-Temperature Water

“…When a metal contacts with the solution, ions in the solution would be rearranged to maintain charge neutrality within the local region of the metal surface, resulting in the formation of an electrical double-layer (EDL). The iron ion moves along the flow direction, resulting in a streaming current parallel to the inner wall of the flow cell [3,20,21]. In the flow-accelerated condition, such as facing a step (the disc in the current study), the streaming current increases rapidly.…”
