Abstract

The influence of chloride ion on the corrosion of metal under coating with scratch defects was researched by wire beam electrode (WBE) technology and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology. The results showed that the current of metal surface could be characterized by the WBE technology. In the case of scratches on the coating, the location of the damage always showed an anodic current, and the cathodic reaction took place adjacent to the damaged location. The cathode area surrounded the defect and migrated to the far end over time. With the increase of Cl- concentration, the corrosion reaction speeded up, the rate of cathode migration also increased, and the speed of coating stripping did as well. Combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, uniform laws were obtained.
