Abstract
A method for estimating pitting corrosion rate is proposed. The method is based on the analysis of anodic and cathodic voltammograms that were measured on the specimens of two types: on the test specimen coated with an oxide film, which formed under the open-circuit conditions, and on the specimen, whose surface was totally activated with aggressive ions. The use of Tafel portions of these voltammograms in various combinations enables us to estimate the corrosion potential and corrosion current for general corrosion proceeding in the induction period, for pitting corrosion at the initial stage of its development, for a highly developed pitting corrosion, when the major area of specimen surface is occupied with pits, and also in the intermediate case.
