  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We analyze the main aspects of acoustic-emission diagnostics of the corrosion processes in structural materials and present the results of numerical investigations of the electrochemical corrosion by the method of acoustic emission. We also discuss the applicability of the method to the investigation of the corrosion fatigue of materials.
