In this study, the electrochemical techniques used to analyze corrosion behavior and passive films are introduced in detail. These electrochemical techniques include Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Cyclic Polarization (CP), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Tafel Extrapolation (TE), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are also introduced in this study. As an example to examine the efficiency and performance of these techniques, electrochemical measurements were carried out in a three-electrode system whereby a commercial copper nickel alloy, C70600 was used as the working electrode. These measurements were performed in natural seawater and in artificial saline solutions with different sulphate content. The results obtained from these electrochemical investigations were compared with the results from conventional immersion tests reported in previous studies. The results conclude that these techniques provide a very convenient and efficient way to evaluate the corrosion and passivation processes in both the laboratory and field within a very short time.
