Abstract

Electrochemical measurements for studying atmospheric corrosion are written in this chapter. Firstly, typical cells employed for electrochemical studies under a thin electrolyte film are introduced. As electrochemical techniques that are suitable for atmospheric corrosion study, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Kelvin methods are described. Secondly, EIS and polarization curves measured under the simulated atmospheric environments in laboratory are introduced, and then the mechanism of atmospheric corrosion and cathodic oxygen reduction under thin electrolyte films is discussed. In addition, electrochemical monitoring of pitting corrosion of stainless steel that takes place under cyclic wet–dry environments in the presence of chloride is also described. Finally, atmospheric corrosion monitoring of carbon steel and weathering steels in real atmospheric sites by continuous measurements of electrochemical impedance is demonstrated where impedance of high and low frequencies is employed.
