Inhibitor protection of metals at the stage of corrosion-fatigue crack growth

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

We suggest electrochemical methods for determining the intensity of local anodic dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement of metals at the tip of a corrosion-fatigue crack. Based on this, we develop a technique for estimating the efficiency of inhibitor protection of structural elements with cracks.
