Abstract

The corrosion behaviour of lead and its alloys in sea-water is of great commercial interest in view of the considerable use of submerged telecommunications cables and the growing use of lead anodes for cathodic protection of marine structures. This article is concerned with the corrosion of lead in sea-water and saline solutions and with the anodic behaviour of lead in chloride solutions.
