Corrosion Mechanism
Electrochemical corrosion occurs in two stages: •Anodic dissolution of the metal and, •Cathodic reduction of some species existing in the solution, •On the cathodic sites of a metal surface close to the anodic zone on a single, whole metal surface.
•ALL THE REACTIONS OCCUR ON THE SURFACE OF THE MATERIAL CORRODING.

Preliminary Results
•During settlement of the corrosion cell and without any
external perturbation to the corrosion cell, AE signals
were easily detected with amplitudes above 40 dB.
•After settlement of the corrosion cell, a potential scan
was carried out to identify different corrosion regions on
Al alloy.
•Applied voltage and current were recorded, in order to
correlate with AE activity.
•AE signals were detected at specific region of the
polarization curve.

Preliminary Results
•AE signals related to cathodic reaction (water
decomposition).
•AE signals detected around Ecorr active region
related to oxidation of Aluminum.
•AE signal detected at transition knee from passive
to transpassive aluminum (breakdown of passive
oxide).
•We are able to locate areas where damage is
developing.

Future Work
•Electrochemical Noise experiments in order
to characterize the corrosion rates or
localization index at different potentials.
•Correlation of AE features with corrosion
rates.

Conclusions
1. Corrosion Can Be Detected with Acoustic Emission.
2. Good Agreement was Observed between the Corrosion
Activity and Acoustic Emission Activity as a function of NaCl
concentration.
3. Calculation of the Corrosion Rate and the AE Hit Rate,
Showed a Strong Correlation between these Two Parameters.
4. AE Provides a Non Intrusive way to Measure Corrosion
Activity.
5. Periodic Measurements at Regular Intervals will Allow to Take
Action to :
i. Stop or Mitigate the Deterioration due to Corrosion
ii. Identify the Triggering Condition
iii. Validation of Protective Schemes are Effective
