    Mild steel is a primary material used to construct ships and other maritime structures. Corrosion protection systems are sometimes ineffective in aqueous mediums subjected to movement, flow, waves, and even turbulence under unpredictable conditions. This study aims to ascertain the influence of flow velocity on mild steel corrosion in the aqueous medium. The mild steel samples are immersed in a 3.5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for five days. They were protected against corrosion using an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system. The flow velocity is increased to 200-800 rpm, while the stationary flow is also examined as a control. Data on the metal's potential and current density were collected, and the surface morphology was analyzed using a stereomicroscope. Corrosion protection occurs exclusively in stationary flow, whereas corrosion occurs in solutions flowing at a most studied velocity. Metals show corrosion severity levels ranging from 200 to 600 rpm with increasing current consumption and metal potential. At 800 rpm, the metal surface appears to begin passivating, reducing the current consumption and potential. The flow velocity accelerates corrosion, yet at the high-speed stream, the corrosion is slowed because the steel surface becomes passive and assists the corrosion protection.

    Effect of H₂/N₂ mixtures on reduction of nickel oxide
    This paper describes the reduction of nickel oxide under different gas mixture. The influence of gas mixture on phase, density, morphology and pore size of reduced nickel oxide were studied. Nickel oxide pellets sintered at 1400⁰C were reduced under various hydrogen-nitrogen gas mixtures, namely 40% H₂-60% N₂, 60% H₂-40% N₂, 80% H₂-20% N₂. Phase identification, density measurement and observation of morphology were conducted on samples before and after reduction process. Under all gas mixtures, nickel oxide was completely reduced to nickel. Density of the samples decreased in the range of 21% to 32% depends on H₂ percentage used. Results from the density shows that the higher the H₂ gas concentration, the smaller the density changes. Significant change in porosity of the sample before and after reduction was observed. Size of pore after reduction determined by H₂ concentration used during reduction where the higher the H₂ concentration resulted in large pore size.
