“…The acoustic emissions (AE) technique, which is a passive ultrasound method, is widely recognised as an effective method for monitoring of corrosion damage [ 28 ]. Each possible AE source during the corrosion process can be described with its specific properties [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Hydrogen gas evolution and breakdown of surface oxide films have been pointed out as possible AE sources by Yuyama et al [ 35 ].…”
