Review—Electrochemical Probes and Sensors Designed for Time-Dependent Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring: Fundamentals, Progress, and Challenges

Da-Hai Xia, Shizhe Song, Zhenbo Qin, Wenbin Hu, Yashar Behnamian

Abstract

Electrochemical probes and sensors have been developed to detect and monitor atmospheric corrosion of metallic materials in the past 40 decades. Depending on the measurement methods, the electrodes and structures of probes and sensors can be different. Various mathematical methods and models have been developed to determine the time-dependent corrosion rate of metal under thin electrolyte film. Polarization techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LRP) have the advantage of easy data interpretation but have a tendency to interfere with the corrosion system under investigation. Nonpolarized techniques such as electrochemical noise (EN) do not disturb the corrosion system but data interpretation can be problematic. To achieve long term and reliable corrosion monitoring, optimized electrode design and a multichannel electrochemical instrument are required. New corrosion models and novel data interpretation methods are needed in future work.
