Potentiodynamic Polarization & Cyclic Polarzation

About Potentiodynamic Polarization & Cyclic Polarzation

Mett-Bio's wide array of metallurgical testing and repair services boasts a sophisticated instrument that calculates electrochemical measurements within metals and alloys. We use this equipment to study material-degrading electrochemical reactions, eventually helping prevent and combat corrosion scenarios

Why Use Potentiodynamic Techniques?

Potentiodynamic techniques assist in acquiring electrochemical measurements. These specific measurements allow for a thorough evaluation of the corrosion rate, growth, and root cause

Mett-Bio, we carry out the following types of potentiodynamic measurements.

1. Linear polarization tests for metals and alloys (For general, aqueous corrosion)

2. Linear polarization resistance measurements (for earth-enhancing compounds)

3. Cyclic polarization tests for metals and alloys (For pitting and crevice corrosion)

4. Cyclic polarization tests for medical implants and devices

5. Voltammetry techniques

These techniques are commonly used for R&D purposes, mainly for assessing the alterations in a metal or alloy in a set corrosive environment. Moreover, they are practiced in educational institutions, along with industries ranging from chemical, petrochemical, power, and medicine..
