Abstract

Sensing is a key part of diagnostics and prognostics of corrosion. In this chapter we will outline the basic techniques used to detect corrosion; without going into details of the analysis that would accompany these techniques. That is covered elsewhere in this book; see Chap. 5 on Data Analytics for Corrosion Assessment. Corrosion is an electrochemical reaction of the metal to the environment, so it can be assessed either by directly detecting it on the material or by estimating its likelihood of occurrence indirectly via measuring ambient conditions. Both will be covered in this chapter. Lesser known phenomena involving corrosion from microorganisms are dealt with in Chap. 2 on the Principles of Corrosion Process.
