Abstract

A review of analytical methods with emphasis on modern techniques used in characterization of corroded ferrous alloys will be delivered. Iron oxides and oxy-hydroxides are constituents of corrosion products formed on ferrous alloys exposed to corrosive environments (such as atmospheric corrosion) and positive identification of these constituents is of significant help in corrosion prevention. Technique fundamentals, incident probe used, depth of analysis, detection limit, applications for different techniques will be provided. Specific issue with identification of Magnetite (Fe3O4)/ Maghemite (?-Fe2O3) will be discussed.
