In Situ Measurement Of Chloride Concentration And Ph Distribution In The Crevice During The Crevice Corrosion Of Copper Electronic Board, Min Zhang, Xiang-Dong Zhuo, Chang-Jian Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

Although the crevice corrosion of metals had been extensively studied in the past years,it remained lack of direct experimental information of the micro chemical environments and electrochemical conditions inside the corroding crevice.The distribution of chloride concentration and local pH in the occluded area are the most crucial factors in development of crevice corrosion.The array probes in one dimension of Ag/AgCl and IrO2 array were developed in this work to in situ follow the distribution of chloride concentration and local pH in the occluded area during the crevice corrosion propagation.Based on a designed simulated crevice corrosion system in 0.5mol/L NaCl solution,the …
