Abstract

The electrochemical studies of the corrosion can provide indirect techniques that they can determinate the corrosion rate of metals or alloys immersed in a corrosive medium. For many years, most studies about the cathodic and anodic polarization behaviour of metals have been confined to traditional steady-state techniques, such as potentiodynamic sweep measurements. However, steady-state techniques are limited because they give information only on the rate-determining step. Moreover, during the measuring process, technique such as potentiodynamic sweep polarize the electrode surface to such a great extent, in order to uncover corrosion mechanism, that the validity of the results can be questioned particularly in the cases when protective films. Transient electrochemical techniques such as Electrochemical Noise (EN), are less intrusive because they can provide information about the processes without disturbing the reactions with the voltage application.
