Local Probe Techniques for Corrosion Research: European Federation of Corrosion Publications Number 45

by R. Oltra (Editor), V. Maurice (Editor), R. Akid (Editor)

This important collection reviews the range of techniques available and how they can be used to analyze different types of corrosion. The book begins by discussing the use of scanning probe microscopy techniques such as electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. It goes on to analyze local electrochemical techniques such as scanning electrochemical microscopy, scanning vibrating electrode techniques, scanning droplet and scanning kelvin probe microscopy, as well as microraman spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical imaging. The book reviews the application of these techniques in practice to various metals and types of coating as well as different kinds of corrosion.
