Two notable things occur during a cathodic reaction. 1.) A given species undergoes reduction (there is a decrease in its oxidation number)
2.) A gain of electrons at the cathodic site (electrons are consumed by the reaction)
An example of a cathodic reaction is:
2H+(aq) + 2e- ==> H2(g)
This reaction however is just a half-cell reaction, which means it is usually coupled (happens along with) an anodic reaction.
The full form of meq in cathodic electro deposition is milliequivalent. It is a unit used to measure the amount of electric charge transported by ions during the electroplating process.
In anodic system, small amounts of the metal migrates into the coating film limiting it's usefulness in corrosion protection. Anodic coatings are used in less severe environments and are generally economical and produce a nice surface finish. Cathodic systems produce an coating free of metal migration and are much more robust. These systems are useful in heavy corrosive environments.
Formation reaction.
The reverse of a spontaneous reaction is a nonspontaneous reaction. In a spontaneous reaction, the reaction occurs naturally without any external influence, while in a nonspontaneous reaction, external energy input is required for the reaction to occur.

During electrolysis a cation moves towards cathode where it accepts the electrons and becomes reduced. M+ + e- ------> M
Iron corroding is basically Fe -----> Fen+ + n e- . This is the anodic reaction. However, due to the law of conservation of charge there needs to be a balancing cathodic reaction to consume the electrons produced. In neutral solutions this is: 2H2O + O2 + 4 e- ------> 4OH- . So if the iron is kept dry there is no balancing cathodic reaction and rusting or corrosion is slowed down vastly or stopped.
Cathodic protection is a way of preventing or controlling corrosion of a metal structure.
The counterpart of cathodic is anodic. Anodic refers to the positive electrode in an electrical circuit where oxidation occurs, while cathodic refers to the negative electrode where reduction occurs.
Of or to do with a cathode.
Cathodic protection is used to control corrosion of metal on the surface of structures in various environments. In some cases Cathodic protection can prevent stress corrosion and fracturing.
In cathodic protection systems, electrons flow from a more active metal (anode) through an external circuit to the structure being protected (cathode), providing a protective current that helps prevent corrosion. This flow of electrons results in the cathodic polarization of the structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of corrosion.
The KKS system is a standardized system for the classification of technical equipment in power plants. It does not specifically address cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are typically classified based on their method (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anode) and location within the power plant.

Cathodic protection survey is a method used to assess the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems on buried or submerged metal structures like pipelines or storage tanks. It involves measurements of electrical potentials, current flow, and other relevant parameters to ensure that adequate protection is being provided to prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the structure. The survey results help in identifying any issues or areas that may require maintenance or improvements in the cathodic protection system.
