Electrochemical reactions accompanied by changes in both the metal and the environment in contact with the metal are known as corrosion. Although corrosion has a common mechanism on a microscopic level, various microstructures, designs, and compositions will undergo different types of corrosion. Experimental methods for the estimation of kinetic, thermodynamic,and mechanistic aspects of metal corrosion are described in this chapter. Special emphasis is paid to electrochemical experimentation to determine the relative stability of materials, annual loss of material, inhibition efficiency, and the effects of environmental conditions, preferably in situ, in vitro, and in vivo. © 2021 American Chemical Society.
