Other techniques to detennine the corrosion rate use instead of DC biasing, an AC approach (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). From the impedance spectra, the polarization resistance (R ) of the system can be detennined. The polarization resistance is indirectly proportional to j. An advantage of an AC method is given by the fact that a small AC amplitude applied to a sample at the corrosion potential essentially does not remove the system from equilibrium. 

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and AC Impedance Many direct-current test techniques assess the overall corrosion process occurring at a metal surface, but treat the metal/ solution interface as if it were a pure resistor. Problems of accuracy and reproducibility frequently encountered in the application of direct-current methods have led to increasing use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). 

Although the above experiments involved exposure to the environment of unbonded surfaees, the same proeess oeeurs for buried interfaces within an adhesive bond. This was first demonstrated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on an adhesive-covered FPL aluminum adherend immersed in hot water for several months [46]. EIS, which is commonly used to study paint degradation and substrate corrosion [47,48], showed absorption of moisture by the epoxy adhesive and subsequent hydration of the underlying aluminum oxide after 100 days (Fig. 10). After 175 days, aluminum hydroxide had erupted through the adhesive. 

The capacitance. The electrical double layer may be regarded as a resistance and capacitance in parallel see Section 20.1), and measurements of the electrical impedance by the imposition of an alternating potential of known frequency can provide information on the nature of a surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is now well established as a powerful technique for investigating electrochemical and corrosion systems.

ENA was recently used for remote on-line corrosion monitoring of carbon steel electrodes in a test loop of a surge water tank at a gas storage field. An experimental design and system for remote ENA and collection of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data (Fig. 13) have been presented elsewhere. In the gas storage field, noise measurements were compared with electrode weight loss measurements. Noise resistance (R ) was defined as... 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques record impedance data as a function of the frequency of an applied signal at a fixed potential. A large frequency range (65 kHz-1 mHz) must be investigated to obtain a complete impedance spectrum. Dowling et al. and Franklin et al. demonstrated that the small signals required for EIS do not adversely affect the numbers, viability, and activity of microorganisms within a biofilm. EIS data may be used to determine the inverse of the corrosion... 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, AC probes. EIS, although around since the 1960s, has primarily been a laboratory technique. Commercially available probes and monitoring systems that measure EIS are becoming more widely used, especially in plants that have on-staff corrosion experts to interpret the data or to train plant personnel to do so. 

Electrochemical impedance, weight loss, and potentiodyne techniques can be used to determine the corrosion rates of carbon steel and the activities of both sulfate-reducing bacteria and acid-producing bacteria in a water injection field test. A study revealed that the corrosion rates determined by the potentiodyne technique did not correlate with the bacterial activity, but those obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were comparable with the rates obtained by weight loss measurements [545]. 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to determine the effect of isomers of 2,5-bis( -pyridyl)-l,3,4-thiadiazole 36 (n 2 or 3) on the corrosion of mild steel in perchloric acid solution <2002MI197>. The inhibition efficiency was structure dependent and the 3-pyridyl gave better inhibition than the 2-pyridyl. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy helped establish the 3-pyridyl thiadiazoles mode of action toward corrosion. Adsorption of the 3-pyridyl on the mild steel surface in 1M HCIO4 follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and the surface analysis showed corrosion inhibition by the 3-pyridyl derivative is due to the formation of chemisorbed film on the steel surface.

In this experiment, corrosion rates will be estimated via the Stern-Geary relationship by measuring the polarization resistance, Rp. This parameter will be measured in two ways via conventional polarization resistance (PR) measurements and via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In addition, the errors in corrosion rate estimation introduced by the use of a finite scan rate and the presence of uncompensated ohmic resistance will be demonstrated. 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful tool for examining the processes occurring at the electrode surfaces. EIS is a kind of electrochemical analysis method which can be used in the characterization of batteries, fuel cells, and corrosion phenomena.

One of the most important applications of neural network methodology is in the extrapolation of electrochemical impedance data obtained in corrosion studies.34 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can be used to obtain instantaneous corrosion rates. The validation of extension of EIS data frequency range, which is conventionally difficult, can be done using a neural network system. In addition to extension of impedance data frequency range, the neural network identifies problems such as the inherent variability of corrosion data and provides solutions to the problems. Furthermore, noisy or poor-quality data are dealt with by neural works through the output of the parameters variance and confidence.33...

The similar breakdown of the surface state was also observed with parylene C film. Parylene C is a semicrystalline polymer and one of the most effective barriers for gases and vapors according to permeability values. It was thought that such an excellent barrier film would provide superior corrosion protection of a metal when it was deposited on the metal surface. Contrary to the expectation, parylene C film didn t provide good corrosion protection due to the surface state breakdown described above. This conclusion was ascertained by studies using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which is described in Chapter 28. 

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a valuable method with which to study the barrier property and corrosion protection performance of polymer-coated metals it has been widely used in this field in recent years [11-15]. Many examples can be found in the literature, which illustrate the performance deterioration of different coatings on metals as well as pretreatment effects on the properties of...

The power of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is well acknowledged and widely used in various systems [130, 131]. The history of impedance of porous, distributed electrodes in liquid electrolytes goes back to the early 1960s (see Refs. 132, 133), and some later works [134, 135]. In the context of accumulators, interpretation of electrode impedance was already long ago considered as a promising way to acquire information on the current state of the electrodes [136]. The same refers to the study of corrosion [137, 138]. Nowadays,...
