Popis: In this work, an overview of recent developments in materials characterization and performance assessment methods applied to corrosion is given. It is shown that 3D techniques represent a powerful tool to gain fundamental information on the relationship between alloy microstructure and corrosion initiation and propagation. Subsequently, taking as an example an aluminium alloy anodized at two different potentials, the use of image assisted electrochemical noise analysis for the assessment of the practical performance of protective treatments is illustrated.
