Ellipsometric and electrochemical techniques for the in situ study of the corrosion of coated iron and steel are described. The results of these studies, an interpretation of the data and the extension of the technique to the study of inhibited coatings systems are summarized. It is concluded that interfacial oxide dissolution constitutes an important mechanism of coating delamination.
