Ding & Testing Inspection: Unveiling Material Corrosion Tendencies for Precise Anti-Corrosion Solutions
Open-Circuit Potential (OCP) measurement is an electrochemical detection technique that assesses a material's corrosion tendency and thermodynamic stability by measuring its natural potential in a corrosive medium. This method provides a scientific basis for material selection, corrosion prevention design, process optimization, and equipment maintenance, ensuring reliability and durability in complex environments.
Service Introduction
OCP measurement is a high-precision corrosion assessment method. By measuring a material's natural potential in a corrosive medium without applying external current or potential, it evaluates the material's corrosion tendency and thermodynamic stability. This non-destructive, real-time monitoring method is simple, fast, and applicable to various materials and conditions.
Testing Methods
OCP measurement uses advanced electrochemical workstations or high-precision potentiometers, combined with lab simulation and data analysis, to ensure accurate and reliable results. Common methods include:
-
Static OCP Measurement: Immersing the material in the corrosive medium and measuring its stable natural potential to assess initial corrosion tendency.
-
Dynamic OCP Monitoring: Continuously measuring OCP changes over time to observe potential drift and analyze corrosion process dynamics.
-
Multi-Point OCP Measurement: Simultaneously measuring OCP of multiple samples to compare corrosion tendencies of different materials or conditions.
-
OCP vs. Time Curve Analysis: Plotting OCP changes over time to analyze material passivation, activation, or corrosion rate variations.
Industry Pain Points
In practical applications, materials and equipment face complex corrosive environments like marine, industrial, and acidic conditions. Corrosion reduces material lifespan, causes structural failure, and poses safety risks. Traditional methods provide qualitative analysis and struggle to monitor corrosion in real-time or quantify corrosion rates. Thus, developing a real-time, quantitative corrosion monitoring technology is crucial.
