Ding & Testing Inspection: Precisely Revealing Material Corrosion Behavior to Optimize Corrosion Resistance
The Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (EQCM) is a high-precision electrochemical analysis technique that monitors real-time mass changes at the material surface during corrosion or deposition processes, combined with electrochemical signals to precisely analyze dynamic surface changes. EQCM provides a scientific basis for material corrosion research, surface deposition process optimization, and protective coating performance assessment, ensuring the reliability and durability of materials and equipment in complex environments.
Service Introduction
The Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (EQCM) is a high-precision analytical instrument that combines electrochemical technology with the high-sensitivity mass detection capability of a quartz crystal microbalance. By monitoring minute mass changes at the material surface during corrosion or deposition processes, EQCM can provide real-time insights into dynamic surface behavior. This technique is not only applicable to corrosion studies of metallic materials but also to the analysis of deposition processes of protective coatings, formation mechanisms of electrochemical deposition films, and surface reactions of biosensors.
Testing Methods
The Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (EQCM) uses advanced quartz crystal sensors in conjunction with an electrochemical workstation to ensure accurate and reliable test results. Common testing methods include:
-
Mass Change Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of mass changes at the material surface through frequency changes in the quartz crystal, with precision down to the nanogram level.
-
Electrochemical Signal Synchronization: Combined with an electrochemical workstation, it synchronously records electrochemical signals such as potential and current to analyze the electrochemical behavior during corrosion or deposition processes.
-
Dynamic Analysis: Long-term monitoring to analyze the dynamic mass changes of materials at different stages of corrosion or during deposition processes.
-
Surface Reaction Mechanism Study: Revealing the corrosion or deposition mechanisms at the material surface through the correlation analysis of frequency changes and electrochemical signals.
-
Coating Performance Assessment: Monitoring mass changes of protective coatings in corrosive media to evaluate their durability and integrity.
Industry Pain Points
In practical applications, materials and equipment often face complex corrosive environments, such as marine, industrial, and acidic conditions. Corrosion not only reduces the service life of materials but can also lead to structural failure and safety hazards. Additionally, optimizing surface deposition processes and evaluating the performance of protective coatings pose challenges, as traditional methods struggle to monitor real-time, quantitative mass changes at the material surface. Therefore, developing a technique that can monitor these dynamic surface changes with high precision is crucial.
