Autolab Application Note COR02 Corrosion Part 2 – Measurement of Corrosion Rates Keywords where is the atomic weight of the metal, is the density, is the charge number which indicates the number of Corrosion; Electrochemical methods; Corrosion rate; electrons exchanged in the dissolution reaction and is the Kinetics Faraday constant, (96.485 C/mol). The ratio M/n is also sometime referred to as equivalent weight. Summary Electrochemical methods provide an alternative to traditional Calculation of corrosion currents methods used to determine the rate of corrosion. Direct and Calculation of corrosion rates requires the determination of quantitative determination of corrosion rates can be corrosion currents. When reaction mechanisms for the determined from simple electrochemical measurement like a corrosion reaction are known, the corrosion currents can be linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). calculated using Tafel Slope Analysis. Weight loss measurements The relationship between current density and potential of The simplest way of measuring the corrosion rate of a metal anodic and cathodic electrode reactions under charge is to expose the sample to the test medium (e.g. sea water) transfer control is given
