17.1 INTRODUCTION
Electrochemical corrosion tests on samples of a few square centimeters provide
information only on the behavior of a large material surface. They are not very
useful for testing local corrosion processes occurring on passive materials. Therefore,
a new microelectrochemical technique (the microcell technique) for corrosion studies
in the micrometer range was developed (Figure 17.1).
