What is stray current corrosion

When a direct current flows through an unintended path and the flow of electrons supports corrosion. This can occur in soils and flowing or stationary fluids.
 
 

Prevention

The most effective remedies involve controlling the current by:

  • Insulating the structure to be protected or the source of current
  • Earthing sources and/or the structure to be protected.
  • Applying cathodic protection
  • Using sacrificial targets.
