Mechanical oscillations of the solution meniscus risen around a corroding wire electrode were observed in synchronism with electrical current oscillations. Scanning electron microscopy coupled to microprobe analysis was used to investigate the topochemistry of the system under study. Solution capillarity effects on iron and on iron compounds are related to the oscillations detected in this system.
