Title: Laser Raman spectroscopy for in-situ'' analysis of corrosion films on metals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6537281

The principles of laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) are discussed, with particular reference to its applications to the study of corrosion and passivation phenomena in metals in aqueous solution environments. Results of studies on corrosion inhibition by organic compounds and passivity breakdown on iron are presented. The advantages and limitation of the LRS technique are pointed out. New directions toward corrosion studies in high temperature high pressure systems as well as the development of a technique for near monolayer detection sensitivity are discussed. 68 refs., 22 figs.
