Corrosion rate calculation FAQ's
- Are the effects of a passivation layer included in the calculation of general corrosion rate model?
Passivation is included in the general corrosion rate model. For a description of how the passive layer is modeled, further information can be found in the paper: “Computation of Rates of General Corrosion Using Electrochemical and Thermodynamic Models” by Anderko et al., under the section “Active-Passive Transition”, see reference below. Additionally, the applications section describes how this model reproduces selected experimental data.
