Odd random phase multisine EIS as a detection method for the onset of corrosion of coated steel

In this work, odd random phase multisine Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (ORP-EIS) was used as a detection method for the onset of corrosion of coated steel. The possibility to use ORP-EIS as a rapid-screening test for corrosion was investigated. It is concluded that the detection of a non-linear behavior combined with a non-stationary behavior during the onset of corrosion can be used as a criterion in a rapid-screening test for corrosion of coated steel.
