Abstract
This study investigates time lags between environmental changes, electrolyte formation, and atmospheric corrosion sensor responses under controlled multi-droplet wetting. A commercial corrosion and environmental sensor was combined with in-situ microscopy, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based segmentation approach was applied to track droplet growth. A cross-correlation analysis identified and quantified time lags between Surface Relative Humidity (SRH), droplet radius, and sensor responses based on Interdigitated Electrodes (IDE) measuring conductance, galvanic corrosion, and free corrosion. This approach ultimately aids in understanding how environmental fluctuations affect the dynamic behaviour of the electrolyte layer and, in turn, influence atmospheric corrosion sensor responses.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
