Current fluctuations during general corrosion of stainless steel in sulfuric acid were studied experimentally and analyzed using a simple electrochemical model. Stochastic behavior of the metal-electrolyte interface in the model was based upon the assumption that elementary fluctuation sources were related to fluxes of electrons that pass from a metal to electron-acceptor ions in solution. The number of successful electron transfers obeyed a Gaussian distribution, from which the corrosion current density and transfer coefficients could be determined.
