PITTING CORROSION MEASUREMENT USING 3D PROFILOMETRY Prepared by Craig Leising 6 Morgan, Ste156, Irvine CA 92618 · P: 949.461.9292 · F: 949.461.9232 · Todays standard for tomorrows materials. © 2014 NANOVEA INTRO: In the form of holes, pitting corrosion is localized and can penetrate into materials very quickly and is one of the most frequent forms of corrosion in stainless steels. The quantification of pitting corrosion has been a main focus of study in recent years. Pitting corrosion is quantified in different ways e.g. average pit depth, maximum pit depth, volume etc. IMPORTANCE OF 3D NON CONTACT PROFILOMETER FOR PITTING STUDY Unlike other techniques such as touch probes or interferometry, the 3D Non Contact Profilometer, using axial chromatism, can measure nearly any surface, sample sizes can vary widely due to open staging and there is no sample preparation needed. Nano through macro range is obtained during surface profile measurement with zero influence from sample reflectivity or absorption, has advanced ability to measure high surface angles and there is no software manipulation of results. Easily measure any material: transparent, opaque, specular, diffusive, polished, rough etc. The technique of the Non Contact Profilometer provides an ideal, broad and user friendly capability to maximize surface studies when pitting analysis will be needed; along with the benefits of combined 2D 3D capability. MEASUREMENT OBJECTIVE In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure the surface of a corrosion pitted stainless steel coupon. The area measured was selected at random, and assumed large
