Abstract
Maturity of numerical simulation represents an important issue in the development of predictive models of galvanic corrosion. As widely used in electrochemical engineering, a coupled electrochemical-transport-reaction (CETR) model is recommended to simulate the current distribution above a galvanic corrosion cell made of the cut-edge of a galvanized steel sheet. Nevertheless, simulating current density distributions obtained experimentally by scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) above such a galvanic cell appears to be more accurate using an electrostatic model considering a homogeneous conductivity. In this case, the absence of concentration gradients next to the electrode surface results from convection induced by the microelectrode vibrations.
