Corrosion of metals and alloys has a significant effect on the economy, pollutes the environment, and is hazardous to human health. To fully evaluate and mitigate the effects of corrosion, it is essential to understand corrosion properties and mechanisms. Evaluation of Electrochemical Corrosion: Experimental Procedures and Characterization provides an overview of the main techniques of corrosion testing. It describes the fundamentals of corrosion evolution and recommends how to set up experiments that can analyze corrosion properties and mechanisms. It details problems that occur during experimental testing and how to solve them.

• Addresses corrosion theory, basic specimen preparations, and general electrochemical and surface analysis techniques.
• Suggests experimental procedures for corrosion testing.
• Discusses the protection of testing cell and errors in testing processes.
• Covers the analysis of electrochemical and surface analysis data.
• Includes end of chapter exercises for reinforcement of material.
• Features a wealth of industrial case studies. This book serves as a valuable reference for materials scientists, corrosion researchers, and others seeking to lessen the impact of metallic corrosion in infrastructure and other critical sectors.
