Summary of Guide4.1 Electrochemical

23、 noise measurement is used for moni-toring of localized corrosion processes such as pitting (1, 2).34.2 Electrochemical noise measurement may be used toestimate a general corrosion rate (3).4.3 Electrochemical noise measurement operates on theprinciple that fluctuations in potential and current occu

24、r as aresult of spontaneous changes in the instantaneous corrosionrate (4). The fluctuations may be due to one or more of severalphenomena that include: initiation (5) and propagation oflocalized corrosion (6), Faradaic currents (7), double-layercapacitance discharge, gas bubble formation (8), adsor

25、ption/desorption processes, surface coverage (9), diffusion (10),variation of film thickness (11), mobility of charge carrier (12),passivity breakdown (13), and temperature variations (14, 15).4.4 The noise fluctuations associated with corrosion phe-nomena can usually be distinguished from thermal (

26、white)noise (caused by thermal effects in which noise power isdirectly proportional to the measured bandwidth), Johnsonnoise (produced by the measurement instrumentation), andshot noise (in electrical circuits caused by the quantized natureof the electronic charge) (16-18). However, the electrochemi

27、calnoise signals generated may have characteristics similar tothose stated in the preceding sentence.4.5 The electrochemical noise method of corrosion mea-surement may help to evaluate the corrosion mechanism ofmetals in electrolytes. Its particular advantage is in continuousmonitoring without apply

28、ing any external perturbation.4.6 Method AZRA-Based Current and PotentialMeasurementTwo nominally identical electrodes arecoupled through a ZRA, which maintains a 0-V potentialdifference between them by injecting (measured) current. Thepotential between the couple and a third (reference) electrodeis

29、 also measured. The reference electrode may be either aconventional reference electrode such as a saturated calomelelectrode (SCE) or simply be a third electrode identical inmaterial to the coupled electrodes (19, 20).4.7 Method BPotentiostatic Current Measurement withStandard Reference ElectrodeRef

30、erence Test Method G5provides practice for making potentiostatic measurements. Theworking electrode potential is controlled with respect to thereference electrode at a prescribed value. The current measured(flowing between the working (Test 1) and auxiliary or counter(Test 2) electrodes) is that req

31、uired to maintain potentialcontrol (21, 22).NOTE 1Noise on the reference electrode will result in a correspondingcurrent noise signal; therefore, the reference electrode needs to berelatively noise free. The potential measurement can only be made acrossthe auxiliary and working electrodes, as the po

32、tential between thereference and the working is held constant by the potentiostat. The voltagedeveloped across the auxiliary and working electrodes is a function of thecurrent flowing through the cell and the impedance caused by the auxiliaryelectrode, the working electrode, and the solution resista

33、nce.4.8 Method CGalvanostatic Potential MeasurementAnelectrode is supplied with current from a galvanostat at aprescribed current value. The potential difference between theelectrode and a reference electrode is measured. An auxiliaryelectrode is used to carry the return current.4.9 There are severa

34、l methods by which the electrochemicalnoise data can be obtained (23-26) and analyzed, and somemethods of interpreting the data are given in Appendix X1(27-35). These analyses are included to aid the individual inunderstanding the electrochemical noise technique and some ofits capabilities. The info

35、rmation is not intended to be all-inclusive.3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.G1990925. Significance and Use5.1 Use of this guide is intended to provide information onelectrochemical noise to monitor corrosion on a continuousbasis.5.2 Thi

36、s guide is intended for conducting electrochemicalnoise measurements, both in the laboratory and in-serviceenvironments (36).5.3 This technique is useful in systems in which processupsets or other problems can create corrosive conditions. Anearly warning of corrosive attack can permit remedial actio

37、nbefore significant damage occurs to process equipment (37).5.4 This technique is also useful when inhibitor additionsare used to control the corrosion of equipment. The indicationof increasing corrosion activity can be used to signal the needfor additional inhibitor (38).5.5 Control of corrosion in

38、 process equipment requiresknowledge of the rate or mechanism of attack on an ongoingbasis. This technique can be used to provide such informationin a digital format that is easily transferred to computers foranalysis (39).6. Limitations and Interferences6.1 Results are representative of the probe e

39、lement (elec-trode). When first introduced into a system, corrosion rates ona probe element may be different from that of the structure.6.2 Noise can originate from thermal, electrical, and me-chanical factors. Since the interest is only on the noise fromFaradaic processes, care should be exercised

40、to minimize noisefrom other sources.6.3 Probe elements by their nature are consumable. Hazard-ous situations may occur if probes are left in service forextended periods beyond their probe life. In some configura-tions, crevice corrosion can cause damage or leaks at theinterface between the element a

41、nd its sealing surface that cancause false readings.6.4 Electrical contact between probe elements should beavoided. In certain situations (for example, sour corrosion inthe presence of hydrogen sulfide), the corrosion products canlead to apparent electrical shorting of the probe elementsleading to e

42、rroneous readings.7. Apparatus7.1 Electronics:7.1.1 The input impedance of the device should be highenough to minimize current drawn from the electrodes, suchthat the electrodes are not polarized by the measuring device.Practice G 106 provides guidelines for verification of algo-rithm and equipment

43、for electrochemical impedance measure-ments.7.1.2 The potential range of the device depends on themaximum potential difference between the two electrodes(typically 1 V).7.1.3 The potential resolution of the device should beadequate to discriminate the signal to within the requiredaccuracy (typically

44、 10 V or lower).7.1.4 The device should be capable of maintaining an offsetpotential between the two electrodes of less than 1 mV.7.1.5 The frequency response of the device should be flat(within the desired accuracy) across the frequency range of theanalysis. The device should have a fast enough res

45、ponse so thatsignal transients are not distorted. Note that the signal that oneis attempting to measure may be below the resolution of theinstrument.NOTE 2The offset voltage will appear as a current offset in themeasurement with no electrodes connected.7.1.6 The current range depends on the system b

46、eingmeasured. The wide dynamic ranges seen in passive-to-activetransitions (nA to mA) may require auto-ranging circuits.7.1.7 The bias current of the device should be within therequired accuracy of the measurement. Otherwise it may causean error in the measured current.7.1.8 The background noise of

47、the device should be belowthe electrochemical current or potential noise being measured.High-impedance reference electrode inputs may pick up extra-neous noise from the environment and shielding may berequired. An independent measurement of the backgroundnoise level should be performed.7.1.9 The req

48、uirements in 7.1.1-7.1.8 do not include allpossible combinations of instrumentation and electrode ar-rangements. The instrument, cell, and analysis requirementsshould be determined by the particular test being undertaken.7.2 Test CellThe test cell should be constructed to allowthe following items to

49、 be inserted into the solution chamber:7.2.1 Three identical electrodes, two of which comprise thecoupled electrodes and the third electrode acts as a reference.Alternatively, instead of the third identical electrode, a Luggin-Haber capillary with salt bridge connection for a referenceelectrode may be used.7.2.2 An inlet and an outlet for air or an inert gas.7.2.3 A thermometer or thermocouple holder.7.2.4 The test cell shall be constructed from materials thatwill not corrode, deteriorate, or otherwise contaminate thesolution.
