Abstract
AbstractThe two principal electronspectroscopies – photoelectron and Auger electron – now represent the mature methods of surface analysis and both have been used to further the study of corrosion almost since their inception. This review will examine those areas in which significant developments have been made by their use and will highlight their continuing role in post‐corrosion failure analysis.Specific topics which will be covered include: (1) aqueous corrosion: the formation and composition of passive layers, their interaction with surrounding solutions, and their failure by pitting and stress corrosion; (2) coated surfaces: pretreatment for coating, locus of failure and disbonding under chemical or electrochemical attack; and (3) high temperature oxidation: segregation to the surface, the formation of stable layers and interlayer reaction, and the composition of barrier layers and of spalling interfaces.
