Abstract
The relationships between composition, microstructure and electrochemical properties are of fundamental importance in understanding the corrosion of multiphase materials and thus in aiding in the design of new materials. A local electrochemical test system which combines a capillary device with a photolithographic mask has been developed to investigate the local electrochemical properties of a predefined micron-sized area with greater reliability and versatility than existing approaches. Independent electrochemical measurements were conducted on the different phases of a 2205 duplex stainless steel in NaCl solution, demonstrating the feasibility of the developed test system.
