Determining the Metal Corrosion Rate by Various Techniques and Comparison of the Results

Abstract

The paper considers methods for calculating the rate of metals corrosion. A comparative analysis of the experimental data on the steel 10 corrosion rate in carbonate solutions with different pH values (6-12.5) and the concentration of carbonate ions on the disk electrode made of steel 10. The calculation of the corrosion rate by the gravimetric method and the method of polarization resistance is carried out. A detailed description of the calculating the corrosion rate stages index from experimental electrochemical data (I-E) obtained on the potentiostat IPC PRO is given. The advantages and disadvantages of the considered methods are indicated.
