Abstract:
<p class="MsoNormal">An overview of methods for modeling
thin-film corrosion of steel, which occurs at the interface of
solid/liquid/gaseous phases, is given. The instability of the thickness of thin
electrolyte layers creates difficulties during electrochemical studies, which
are overcome by creating controlled conditions under which a constant relative
humidity of the air is maintained; however, it is difficult to eliminate them
due to the condensation of moisture of uneven thickness. Possible areas of
investigation of corrosion processes in thin layers of aqueous electrolyte in
soil conditions are the study of the influence of polymer layers on the
stability of the wettable film, the geometry of thin films depending on the
shape of drops, and multilayer oxide surfaces. The importance of developing
corrosion monitoring methods for protective intact coatings or coatings that
are just beginning to degrade is emphasized.</p>
