The Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy modes to Corrosion Research

SECM is a powerful method for studying corrosion processes, because it allows simultaneous description of topography and local corrosion activity in the micrometer and sub-micrometer range. A wide ranges of performance modes, with or without redox intermediate, allow for the collection of analytical information and local corrosion processes. This paper presents a brief review of the electrochemical microscopy technique and its applications in the measurement, characterization and evaluation of corrosion systems.
