Corrosion has a large impact on the human society: The cost directly or indirectly linked to it is evaluated from 2% to 4% of the gross domestic product of an industrial country. Studying and understanding the corrosion mechanisms is a key point to propose solution to mitigate the degradation or to select the most appropriate protection.
Electrochemical techniques appeared to be a powerful tool to investigate and assess material degradation. This webinar will present some of the electrochemical techniques commonly used for corrosion studies.
