Corrosion tests are indispensable in many areas of surface technology. In many cases, however, classic corrosion tests such as salt spray or climate change tests are used. As indisputable as the necessity of these test procedures is, the relatively long measurement duration, which can range from a few hours to weeks, can permanently delay development and testing processes. In particular, if the replication of a test environment that is as close to reality as possible is not decisive for the test statement and the determination of the corrosion tendency of a coating system is in the foreground, there are significantly faster alternatives: electrochemical corrosion methods. They are easy to perform, provide fast results and are used not only in research and development but also in quality control.
