Corrosion Modeling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Corrosion Processes

Part of the book series: Structural Integrity ((STIN,volume 13))

Abstract

This chapter introduces fundamental concepts, methods and techniques for modeling of corrosion processes. Modeling and simulation platforms constitute the cornerstone for corrosion prevention, remediation and diagnosis/prognosis of corrosion initiation and propagation in critical metal structures. We address methods that cover first principle models, semi-empirical and empirical models for corrosion processes. We begin with the electrochemical nature of corrosion as the basis for microscale modeling efforts and proceed to describe mesoscale and macroscale modeling techniques. The absence of real long-time corrosion data derived from field testing, laboratory experiments and high-confidence models (mostly absent in the current literature) necessitates the development and application of mostly empirical approaches. The modeling approaches reported in the literature are reviewed and summarized.
