Abstract


Pitting is one of the most destructive types of localized corrosion. This paper presents the mathematical model of the early stages of pitting corrosion after its initiation stage, using a commercial finite element program. In view of the chemical and electrochemical reactions inside a single pit in steel, a two dimensional model that allows the prediction of movement of boundaries of a pit is developed.
