Application of the Electrochemical Microcell Technique in Solid State Surface Analysis

Abstract:

In the two last decades, the Electrochemical Microcell Technique (EMT) was used in various electrochemical surface investigations. The diameter of microcapillaries was in the range between few and few hundred microns. This technique was commonly used in corrosion research. Indeed, metallic alloys exhibit a complex microstructure consisting of different metallic and intermetallic phases, inclusions, precipitates... The use of microcapillaries based techniques like EMT makes possible to perform local electrochemical measurements in individual phases. Therefore, it was possible to get information about the behavior of a single grain, inclusion, precipitate... From these information, precursor sites can be identified and criteria leading to corrosion can be proposed.
