ABSTRACT
Based on such data, it is easy to justify the undertaking of studies aimed at characterizing the phenomena and preventing corrosion onset and propagation. In order to accomplish this aim, it is necessary to develop adequate test procedures to determine the influential parameters and to analyse the impact of preventive and corrective measures. Unfortunately, there is a lack of accepted procedures to perform tests, which leads to the use of different experimental procedures. The diversity of techniques and the complexity of the area are hindering standardization and preventing useful result comparisons.
