The examination of corrosion products and processes: Part 2 — A plain man's guide to potentiostats

Abstract

In view of the increasing use of the potentiostat, both as a research tool and for accelerated testing of materials, it is felt that a guide along the lines of ‘Have potentiostat, will corrode’ would be useful to both new workers in this field as well as to established corrosion engineers. The magnitude of the subject precludes a detailed discussion and therefore this article is intended to be an introduction rather than a critical appraisal. The current developments in potentiostatic techniques and instrumentation were recently discussed at a Corrosion and Protection Association symposium. (The present article is based on one of the papers.)
