Abstract
In the preceding chapters of these lectures, we have considered fundamental principles of electrochemical thermodynamics and kinetics and some of their applications to the study of corrosion phenomena in aqueous solutions at 25°C. These principles, which have been described, have an extremely broad applicability. The general concept of plotting both chemical and electrochemical equilibria as a function of thermodynamical variables provides a tool of immense value to scientists and engineers. It is the purpose of this chapter to describe some of the ways in which chemical and electrochemical data can be used in understanding corroding systems which are more complex than those described. It should also be mentioned in passing that the techniques and procedures described in this chapter can be applied broadly in many other areas of technology with substantial benefit.
