Abstract
The mathematical modelling approach to crevice corrosion has been used to develop a test which is capable of predicting the performance of stainless steel components in the marine environment. The test requires a single electrochemical data point as input which can be determined rapidly in the laboratory. The test output via user friendly software distinguishes between different components e.g. flanged joint O-ring, compression fitting, etc. and takes account of temperature and chlorination level in its predictions.
