Abstract
Corrosion of metals is an oxidation process that involves mass changes. Gravimetric techniques based on the measurements of mass loss or mass gain of test specimens using analytical balances with high-precision sensitivities are effective ways to evaluate the material degradation as a function of exposure times or temperatures in corrosive environments. There are mainly two types of the gravimetric techniques for corrosion measurements. One is the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for characterizing material behaviors in response to temperature changes. The other is the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for measurements of corrosion processes both in air and in liquid. This chapter presents the operating principles of TGA and QCM and their applications in the evaluation of corrosion
