Abstract
Surface analysis methods, in combination with traditional tools for corrosion research, have proven useful for the understanding and solution of a wide variety of corrosion problems. This paper reviews the use of several surface analysis methods in applications ranging from industrial problem solving to fundamental research work. A few specific examples are given from the areas of protective film formation, high temperature gaseous corrosion and intergranular stress corrosion cracking. Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA), and Laser Raman Spectroscopy are among the techniques discussed. Several examples of current uses of each method are listed, and advantages and limitations of the various methods for corrosion work are noted.
