“…Early stage corrosion of numerous metals has recently been investigated: tin [26], uranium [27], aluminium [28], magnesium and copper [29]. Corrosion of alloys has also been investigated at initial stages: steel [30][31][32][33][34][35][36], nickel and cobalt superalloys [37], copper-tin bronze [38] as well as zirconium [39], magnesium [40] and aluminum alloys [41,42]. The authors proposed various innovative approaches such as colorimetric indicators [26], strain gauges [30], electrochemical atomic force microscopy [33,34], fiber grating sensor [36], QCN sensors with glued foil electrodes [28], polymer coatings with fluorescence indicators [29], in situ FTIR and Raman spectroscopy [38,39], ultramicrotomy [41], optical probe based on plasmonic nanoparticles [42], radiofrequency wave propagation [43] and electrical resistance sensors [44].…”
