Corrosion Measurements Using Microelectrodes
Abstract
It is shown microelectrodes can be substituted for large area area electrodes in typical corrosion measurements. Results obtained for copper and iron in concentrated solutions are consistent with earlier literature report. Application of microelectrodes markedly reduces effects of IR-ohmic drops. It allows one to apply electrochemical methods in corrosion investigations under conditions closer to those of natural corrosion environments. The corrosion rate of circular copper microelectrodes in 0.1 mol/dm 3 HC1 solution depends on radius and increases with decreasing radius.
