The most commonly-used steady state techniques are potentiodynamic tests to determine the corrosion rate in systems that experience a uniform corrosion process. This type of attack can also be studied by measuring resistance to polarization. Cyclical polarization ciurves are also used to study localized corrosion and potentiokinetic reactivation is the most suitable study technique for evaluating intergranular corrosion produced by a sensitization phenomenon following ASTM G108 standard test.
