Summary on Grant Application Form |

Methods used to evaluate corrosion rates for engineering alloys operating in corrosive environments have historically been based upon 'macroscopic' measurements of corrosion potential and current. These measurments represent corrosion activity occurring over the 'whole' of the corroding surface. Localised corrosion rates are not truely represented by such measurements. Recent developments have seen the emergence of new techniques for evaluating localised corrosion. Before these 'new' scanning techniques are accepted by the corrosion science/engineering communities a number of key issues need to be addressed.The proposed network will therefore draw together experts from a variety of engineering, materials and electrochemical disciplines and focus attention on the issues related to the measurement, modelling and prediction of localised corrosion based upon the use of scanning electrochemical techniques. The output of the network will be to establish interdisciplinary, inter-institutional research activities devoted to addressing the potential, for use in both industry and academia, of these new scanning techniques.Keys describing areas of proposal.
