The invention belongs to the technical field of
marine corrosion tests, and relates to a novel test method for testing couple
corrosion in a
seawater scouring environment. The method comprises the following steps of: preprocessing test samples by using a flowing type water trough scouring
corrosion experimental device, making
test sample installing stages rightly opposite in pairs, and supporting the
test sample installing stages with PVC supporting bars, wherein the
test sample installing stages are closely attached to the walls of an experimental trough and are fixed on the two sides of the experimental trough; starting a
seawater pump, regulating the flow rate of the
seawater pump with a frequency converter so as to meet
test requirements, and connecting each group of couple pair test samples after the
water flow becomes stable; performing the experimental test of simulating an electrical insulation state under the condition of directly connecting two wires or loading a
resistor; and testing and recording the numerical values of material potentials,
coupling potentials and
coupling currents of the test samples, photographing and washing and weighing
corrosion products respectively, computing the couple corrosion rate of the materials, and drawing
coupling potential-time curves. The method has the advantages of simple and reliable test theory, safe used equipment, accurate test parameters and high
computability and applicability.
