    The document summarizes research on the corrosion of the inside surface of penstocks in the Mingechaur reservoir. The researchers found that (1) the corrosion rate of steel in the flowing water of the reservoir was between 0.47-1.08 mm/yr, decreasing with longer exposure, and (2) cathodic protection of steel in the flowing water required initial cathodic current densities of 1-1.5 mA/dm2, which decreased over time due to deposits forming on the metal surface. They also determined that (3) the rate of anodic metal dissolution in flowing freshwater was the same as in non-flowing water.

    Conclusions

    1. 1.

    The corrosion rate of steel in flowing water of the Mingechaur reservoir


    is within 0.47–1.08 mm/yr, decreasing rapidly with exposure [3, 4].

    2. 2.

    Considerable initial values of the cathodic current density, equal to 1–1.5


    mA/dm2, are needed for cathodic protection of steel in the same flowing
    water; however, they decrease rapidly both as a result of the formation
    of cathode deposits and as a result of the formation of natural films and
    deposits on the metal.

    3. 3.

    Anodic dissolution of metal in a freshwater flow occurs at the same rates


    as in nonflowing water.
