Nonequilibrium Fluctuations in the Corrosion Process

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 33))

Conclusion

Corrosion, especially pitting corrosion, is a typical heterogeneous reaction composed of several processes. Usually, it is reduced to each elemental phenomenon, such as breakdown of passive film and substrate dissolution, which are treated separately to establish the theoretical and experimental bases of corrosion.

However, such a corrosion process forms a typical complex system, in which the reaction proceeds in a complicated fashion, remaining linked to each phenomenon in the process. Therefore, the nonequilibrium fluctuations discussed here have great significance since by using these fluctuations, the whole system can be described as it exists, without any reduction into elements.

Moreover, fluctuations of this kind are important, not only because they provide a useful method for describing such a complex system, but also because they actually exist in the reaction process. Thus it can be said that the corrosion reaction progresses according to the formation of nonequilibrium fluctuations. The most important point is that there is complete reciprocity between reactions and fluctuations; a reaction is controlled by the fluctuations, while the fluctuations are controlled by the reaction itself. Therefore, we can again point out that the reactivity in corrosion is determined, not by its distance from the reaction equilibrium, but by the growth process of the nonequilibrium fluctuations.

The author thanks Dr. Norio Sato, Professor Emeritus of Hokkaido University for stimulating, fruitful discussion, and also thanks Professor Asanuma at Gunma Polytechnic College and Dr. Shinohara at NRLM-JST for providing many data for this paper.
