Study on Electrochemical Noise of N80 Steel in NaCl Solution by Wavelet Analysis and Equivalent Circuit Theory

Abstract:

The electrochemical noise (EN) of N80 steel in NaCl solution has been studied by the wavelet and the equivalent circuit theory. Spectrum analysis showed that the corrosion data is no transient peaks, the variations of potential and current showed typical characteristics of uniform corrosion. Wavelet analysis results show that the different time energy fluctuations of different size ranges, low-level occur fluctuations repeatedly and high-level appear concave curve. Analysis shows that it is mainly due to uniform corrosion process, and the control step is diffusion process of corrosive ion. The applications of equivalent circuit analyze electrochemical noise data in theory, and describe the corrosion process by the components of potential noise and current noise power spectral density
