Question

Which of the following is/are the advantages of Tafel extrapolation?

(a) It can measure extremely low corrosion rates

(b) It can be used for continuously monitoring the corrosion rate of a system

(c) It can be used for continuously monitoring the corrosion rate of a system with high accuracy and measures extremely low corrosion rates

(d) It can be performed rapidly with high accuracy

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

I need to ask this question from Modern Theory Applications in section Modern Theory Applications of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) It can be used for continuously monitoring the corrosion rate of a system with high accuracy and measures extremely low corrosion rates

The explanation is: Advantages of Tafel extrapolation are:

It can measure extremely low corrosion rates

It can be used for continuously monitoring the corrosion rate of a system

It can be performed rapidly with high accuracy.
