Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of the marine economy and the deepening of marine development, marine engineering equipment and offshore platforms are gradually expanding. The marine environment is a harsh corrosive environment, and marine corrosion may lead to the degradation and failure of marine engineering structures, and may even cause safety accidents. Effective anti-corrosion measures must be taken to ensure the long-term stable operation of marine engineering equipment and facilities, with the aim of extending their service life and improving safety performance.
Based on the above background, this Special Issue focuses on the latest progress in the corrosion and protection of marine environments, including the following research directions: corrosion mechanisms of metals in marine environments, corrosion monitoring and detection, the development of new corrosion-resistant materials, and protective coatings. The proposal of this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers in the field of marine environmental corrosion and protection, report on their latest high-quality progress, and highlight possible future directions according to their professional insights.

Abstract: Marine steel structures such as working platforms, submarine pipelines, wharf steel piles and storage devices in the ocean have been exposed to corrosive seawater for a long time, leading to constantly corrosion of structures and severe challenges of their service life and safety. Cathodic protection technology can slow down the corrosion of marine steel structures and thus achieve the purpose of protecting structures. At present, the relatively mature and reliable corrosion protection technologies are mainly impressed current cathodic protection and sacrificial anode cathodic protection. The impressed current method is more popular due to its excellent treatment effect and low cost, and is widely used in the corrosion protection of marine steel structures. In this paper, the application of impressed current cathodic protection in the construction of marine steel structures is systematically expounded with corresponding specific cases.
