ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing flow assisted corrosion of a carbon steel component exposed to flowing low-oxygen water is disclosed. The method comprises forming a coating of a platinum group metal on the carbon steel component, and providing a ratio of hydrogen to oxygen of about 1:8 or greater in the water.
