Corrosion Behavior of E690 Steel in Tropical Marine Atmospheres Based on Electrochemical Noise Technique by Peichang DENG, Junhao ZENG, Jiezhen HU, Baoyu GENG, Junhao DENG, Wenjie LAN

“…The results showed that during the initial exposure period, the voltage and current noise fluctuation amplitudes of the EN electrode were large, the current standard deviation (SI) and white noise level (W) were large, the corrosion current density was high, and the corrosion rate of E690 steel was high, mainly due to the small amount of corrosion products on the surface of the sample. Moreover, the voltage and current noise exhibited a nearly symmetrical distribution on both sides of the average value, accompanied by many transient peaks, indicating uniform corrosion of E690 steel. …”
