There is a continuing need for new test techniques to follow corrosion reaction processes and to predict long-term materials performance in aggressive environments. Additionally, there is a growing awareness of the importance of applying non-destructive inspection to determine the presence of corrosion in non-visible areas of equipment and structures. The possibilities of utilizing acoustic emission for a broad range of applications in the study of these problems were explored. Proprietary methods were developed to follow corrosion reactions and to monitor corrosion of simulated and actual structures. These experiments point out the applicability of acoustic emission as a sensitive new tool for corrosion research and NDT in corrosion prone structures and equipment.
