The Reactivation technique is more properly called Electrochemical Potentiokinetic Reactivation, or EPR. It is used to evaluate the degree of sensitization to intergranular stress-corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels. The… read more →
Here is a Reactivation Setup dialog box complete with its default parameters. Note that changing a parameter may make quantitative results for the degree of sensitization invalid. Activation Time The… read more →
The RpEc Trend.Gscript data-analysis package provided with the DC Corrosion normally analyzes the data file from a Rp/Ec Trend experiment. The primary use of the analysis packages is to calculate corrosion… read more →
Run the Rp/Ec Trend standard technique by selecting Experiment > DC Corrosion > Rp/Ec Trend from the Framework™ menu bar. This initiates the following sequence of events: Framework creates a… read more →
This experiment allows you to follow changes in the corrosion rate of a sample versus time. The Rp/Ec Trend script makes a series of polarization resistance measurements at fixed time-intervals.… read more →
The runtime control consist of the standard three buttons and a Display pull-down control. The function of the Skip button differs slightly from that in other DC Corrosion techniques. If you… read more →
The data file from a potentiodynamic experiment is analyzed using the Potentiodynamic.Gscript provided with the DC Corrosion software. Potentiodynamic experiments are usually used to obtain qualitative information. The primary use of… read more →
Run the potentiodynamic standard technique by selecting Experiment > DC Corrosion > Potentiodynamic from the Framework™ menu bar. This initiates the following sequence of events: Framework creates a Runner window,… read more →
The potentiodynamic technique is used to examine the overall corrosion behavior of a system. In a typical potentiodynamic scan, the potential of a metal specimen is slowly swept over a… read more →
This is a Potentiodynamic Setup dialog box. Initial E Starting point for the potential sweep during data-acquisition. The allowed range is ±10 volts with a resolution of 1/8 mV. Its… read more →
