Potentiodynamic polarization resistance

Linear polarization re.slstance probe.s. LPR probes are more recent in origin, and are steadily gaining in use. These probes work on a principle outlined in an ASTM guide on making polarization resistance measurements, providing instantaneous corrosion rate measurements (G59, Standard Practice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements ). 

ASTM G59, Standard Prac tice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements, provides instructions for the graphical plotting of data (from tests conducted using the above-noted ASTM Standard G103) as the hnear potential versus current density, from which the polarization resistance can be found.

ASTM G59 descrihes a method for conducting potentiodynamic polarization resistance measurements [14]. It descrihes a setup for type 430 stainless steel in sulfuric acid, as for ASTM G5 described earher, and the same apparatus is specified. According to this standard, the potential should he scanned from 30 mV negative of the corrosion potential to 30 mV positive of the corrosion potential at a rate of 0.167 mV s . ... 

ASTM G 59, Practice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements— The technique of polarization resistance testing is described. This standard conducts electrochemical testing in 1.0 N H2SO4. The apparatus, specimen preparation, and test environment are described. In addition, the equipment, electrochemical test procedure, and standard reference plots are presented. 

Standard test procedures are defined within ASTM standards ASTM G 59, Practice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements G 5, "Standard Reference Test Method for Making Potentiostatic and Potentiodynamic Anodic Polarization Measurements G 106, Practice for Verification of Algorithm and Equipment for Electrochemical Impedance Measurements and G 102, Practice for Calculation of Corrosion Rates and Related Information from Electrochemical Measurements. Each of these methods describes a standard procedure or practice for the test method. A complete discussion of the technologies is beyond the scope of the current text. For the current text, the focus is on the application of the most simple and most widely used of these techniques, the polarization resistance measurement, ASTM G 59. The parameters discussed are, however, applicable concerns for all electrochemical tests. 

These standard methods and practices provide the necessary information for electrochemical potentiostatic and potentiodynamic anodic measurements, calculation of corrosion rate from electrochemical measurements, and conducting potentiodynamic polarization resistance measurements. Recently, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) htts been introduced for corrosion measurements of steel structures corroding in soils. These tests can be...

Nickel-base alloys respond well to most electrochemical test techniques and show active-passive behavior in many environments. Due to their rapid repassivation, however, the results obtained with potentiod3mamic techniques can sometimes be affected by scan rate and immersion time prior to starting the test [5,6], Electrochemical techniques are useful for investigating localized corrosion resistance, ASTM G 61, Test Method for Conducting Cyclic Potentio-dynamic Polarization Measurements for Localized Corrosion Susceptibility of Iron-, Nickel-, or Cobalt-Based Alloys, and general corrosion resistance, ASTM G 59, Practice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements of nickel alloys. Electrochemical impedance measurement techniques have not been extensively applied to nickel alloys. 

Practice for Conducting Potentiodynamic Polarization Resistance Measurements. 

In the LPR technique, a small polarization potential typically of the order of 10-20 mV is applied to a freely corroding electrode and the resulting linear current response is measured. The polarization resistance is the ratio of the applied perturbation potential and the resulting current response. According to the Stem and Geary equation, this resistance is inversely related to the uniform corrosion rate. The fundamentals of the LPR technique and examples of its application have been discussed by Mansfeld. Standard test procedures for conducting potentiodynamic polarization resistance measurements are provided in an ASTM Standard. " LPR is frequently used to determine the rate of uniform corrosion and...
