Abstract
Characteristics of electrochemical noise, generated by different types of corrosion, have been examined on the electrode surface of stainless steel AISI 302 under tensile load, in aqueous solutions with different concentrations of NaCl and HCl, at higher temperatures. The optical microscope supported by a computer visualisation technique was used simultaneously during the test and compared with signals of electrochemical noise generated at the same time. In order to characterise the measured signals different mathematical methods in the frequency and phase domain have been used. It is concluded that the electrochemical noise measurements and analysis can distinguish between uniform corrosion and different types of localised corrosion. Breakdown of passive film, repassivation and growth of stable pits, can be detected. The initiation of cracks can be detected too. An usable sulphide ion selective electrode has been prepared by means of chemical pre-treatment of a silver wire with ammonium peroxodisulphate solution and the sulphidisation in an alkaline sulphide solution. The electrode is suitable for direct concentration measurements of sulphide ions down to micromolar quantities per litre.
