Within twelve months, comprehensive studies were conducted on the effect of full-scale climatic tests on the properties of 30HGSA steel’s samples were carried out with full immersion in water at the mouth of the Don River (the basin of the Sea of Azov) at two stations (Station 1 & Station 2). The water area where the experiment was carried out is characterized by a complex combination of fresh, slightly saline and brackish waters, which affects the structure of communities of aquatic organisms. The article shows t...

The purpose of research is to study the joint influence of climatic and biological factors on materials in the mixing zone of river and seawaters in the mouth area of the Don River. In December 2018, studies began on the dynamics of settling of fouling organisms on experimental plates (aluminum alloys of grades AMg6 and D16 and carbon steels of grades 30HGSA and St3) in full-scale climatic tests in the mixing zone of river and seawaters at two stations (St.1 & St.2) in the mouth area of the Don River. The control ...

The fouling is closely related to the corrosion of materials, repeatedly increasing the speed and extent of damage to marine equipment and infrastructure. Therefore, it is very important to search for effective ways to combat corrosion and fouling, to prevent them. All this is impossible without a careful study of objects - fouling organisms. Bench testing with the application of test plates is the most available and widespread method to study the development of fouling. In the winter of 2018-2019 has been investi...
