Abstract

This project presents the use of temporal series micrographs with an optical microscope coupled with electrochemical techniques to carbon steel corrosion study. This coupled technique will be used corrosion study of AISI 1020 and 1040, in a mixture of paraffin hydrocarbon emulsified with an aqueous solution containing sulfide and chloride ions and in aqueous oil extract Enlarge advantage of this solution coupling techniques is the preservation of coordinates the surface. Thus, it can be studied as many processes as those located generalized, as the grain boundary and pitting corrosion, monitoring the changes that occur locally. Finally, using these techniques in a consequence that was first described in our doctoral thesis in pitting corrosion is possible to estimate the depth of them, crossing the two-dimensional data (image) with the charge that passes during the faradaic dissolution located. The investigation of corrosion of steel will be performed by the measurements od open circuit potential, Eoc, polarization curves, CP, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS, in situ optical microscopy for metallic surface analysis.
