Several electrochemical techniques have been employed by the authors to study the crevice corrosion process of iron-base and nickel-base alloys in natural seawater and related chloride-containing environments. This paper reviews these techniques as they have been applied to investigating the mechanism of crevice corrosion as well as to defining conditions for practical avoidance of crevice corrosion.
