Abstract

As corrosion processes in aqueous solutions are almost invariably electrochemical in nature, electrochemical methods provide important tools for the study and monitoring of corrosion. This chapter provides a brief background to the principles of instrumentation involved in electrochemical measurements, including the functioning and use of the potentiostat for the control of potential and current and the measurement of current. It then describes the more important electrochemical techniques that have been developed, including polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear polarization resistance, harmonic analysis, electrochemical frequency modulation, and electrochemical noise measurement.
