Determining of Corrosion Resistance of Alloyed Earth Plateproduced by New Electro Deposition Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In addition to electrical design and function, corrosion resistance is an important factor in producing earth rod and plate which indicate quality of these products. The ability of an electrical grounding component to resist corrosion determines its service life.Different production methods has been tried to reach the maximum corrosion resistance but electro deposition process specially alloyed covering used in this research is the most successful method. In this research innovation of the invented process is described, then to confirm the method, corrosion resistance of the covered Earth rod and plate is tested. Phenomenal results indicated that even with 100 micron thickness of the new coating layer, corrosion resistance reaches the required time of resistance. Also by increasing the layer thickness, corrosion resistance is increased.
