9.1 Introductions

Corrosion of metals and alloys is one of the biggest environmental and economic problems. This makes it a highly active research field both fundamentally and practically. Several methods have been developed to detect, monitor, and understand corrosion and corrosion protection processes in response to their serious consequences. Ranging from basic chemical methods such as weight loss to electrochemical and advanced surface analytical techniques, the development of corrosion monitoring techniques is a never-ending task.

Corrosion inhibitors are one of the widely used corrosion control strategies to reduce the corrosion rate of metals and alloys. Adding a small quantity of a corrosion inhibitor to a corrosive solution can significantly increase the metal’s life span. The corrosion inhibition process is usually monitored using several ...
