CORROSION PROTECTION IN SHIPBUILDING

In the ship building process and its operational period, the ship is exposed to various chemical influences of the environment that cause different corrosion damages. Severe structural material damage caused by corrosion can affect both the safety and overall life of the ship. To slowdown or eliminate the corrosion process on the ships they have to be protected by various measures and technological procedures. The paper presents the technological processes of corrosion protection, starting from structural and technological measures, application of protective coatings, the use of corrosion resistant materials, cathodic protection and the employment of inhibitors. Consequently, the corrosion protection in shipbuilding is an important technological process, which may ultimately and significantly affect not only ship’s service period, but also the price of the ship building and maintenance costs.
