INFLUENCE OF METAL NANOCOATINGS ON THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF WELDED JOINTS OF WIND POWER FACILITIES
Provisionally accepted- Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg, Germany
The construction of numerous offshore wind power plants across the European Union and globally has exposed these structures to corrosive marine environments, leading to significant corrosion damage, particularly in welded joints. This study examines the effect of nanolaminates on the corrosion behavior of materials used in wind turbines using electrochemical methods. The results indicate that the integration of experimental techniques with computer modeling is effective in identifying areas within metal structures that are at an elevated risk of corrosion. This approach enables the timely implementation of preventive measures, thereby enhancing the longevity and reliability of offshore wind power installations.
Keywords: Wind power facilities, welded joints, corrosion risk, Metallic Nanolaminate Coatings, Defect interaction, Multielectrode Electrochemical Systems
