A case study of Siennicki Bridge stray current corrosion hazard is presented. A corrosion risk was caused by incorrectly designed tram line traction which goes over the bridge. No dielectric insulation between running rails and bridge steel construction was used. A variety of protection methods against stray currents are described. Characteristics of the endangered bridge were described. Impressed current cathodic protection system...

Nowadays, in the present technical civilization there are numerous complex technical systems that may generate various hazards. Large transport units like ships can be considered as the most dangerous systems. Therefore, it is important to eliminate all possible hazards, especially for ship crewmembers. Destruction of ship structural components caused by vast corrosion is one of these hazards. Usually, its activity leads to a decrease...

Zaprezentowano metodę detekcji pola prądów błądzących wykorzystującą krótkoczasową transformatę Fouriera STFT. Ten sposób analizy umożliwia wyznaczenie zmian spektralnej gęstości mocy sygnału (np. potencjału konstrukcji) w funkcji czasu. Przedstawiono rezultaty analizy zmian potencjału w polu prądów błądzących generowanych przez trakcję tramwajową. Spektrogramy są kompozycją prążków w łącznej dziedzinie czasu i częstotliwości....

In order to control a magnesium anode in a stray current interference field, a dual transistor driving system has been proposed. It consisted of a combination of PNP and NPN transistors. Dual transistor driven system and direct anode to cathode connection were electrochemically tested in 3% NaCl solution. The dual transistor driven system increased the anode efficiency and reduced hydrogen evolution and the risk of embrittlement....
