Mechanisms of Alternate Current Induced Corrosion of Carbon Steel

What is it about?

In this paper, we propose a mechanism​ that fully explains the effect of an alternate electromagnetic field on corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels.

Why is it important?

In this paper, Elmira proposes a simple and elegant mechanism that fully explains the effect of an alternating electromagnetic field on corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels. Previous models all failed to explain the effect of an AC interference on the corrosion response of carbon and low alloy steels. As Elmira shows, most models were based on erroneous experimental observations. The mechanisms proposed in our investigation adequately describes the Faradaic and non-Faradic process occurring at the metal/electrolyte interface during corrosion. The model takes into account AC frequency, amplitude, and shape.
