Abstract

The influence of main parameters on the measurement results of electrochemical fre- quency modulation (EFM) and the deviation of causality factors from their theoretical values were analyzed. Then the accuracy of corrosion rate measured by EFM for Q235 steel in NaCl solution was comparatively checked by means of measurements with EIS, linear-potentiodynamic technique and weight-loss method. The results show that great error will be introduced when the base frequen- cy is too high; 0.01 Hz is a proper base frequency for Q235 steel in NaCl solution. Causality factor CF2 is much reliable than CF3 for checking the accuracy of EFM measurement. Rp value measured by EFM is much accurate than that by linear- potentiodynamic technique; in comparison with weight-loss method, EFM is a rapid and accurate method for measuring corrosion rate.
