Quantitative Characterization of the Spatial Distribution of Corrosion Pits Based on Nearest Neighbor Analysis

Abstract: Nearest-Neighbour Analysis (NNA)-based procedures are proposed for the quantitative characterization of the spatial distribution of corrosion pits in metals. After the exposure of a carbon steel to a 3.5%-NaCl-solution mist, the results derived from observation of corrosion-pit initiation and growth were used to justify the applicability of this approach. The pits initially comprised clusters that were superimposed on a randomly distributed background set. The clustered pits subsequently coalesced, evolving in… Show more

“…For localized corrosion such as pitting and crevice corrosion, precise understand of the conditions at every point on a metal surface is unlikely, and statistic techniques thereby become necessary for the quantitative characterization of the corrosion processes. Therefore, many studies are devoted to the study of statistical features of corrosion pits including spatial statistics [21]. However, the microstructures and corrosion processes are usually exhibiting scale-dependent features [22,23] and the high-resolution images with small field-of-view used in the traditional analysis can only provide limited information for typical corrosion pits.…”
