This bachelor thesis is based on quality evaluation of unprocessed steels for corrosion. Visual control of the steel quality by a microscope is not sufficient, as this method of resistance assessment lacks quantified values. Current instruments are already able to provide specific corrosion values and therefore the SmartCET has been used to electrochemically characterize the supplied steel materials. The theoretical part includes general description and basic division of steel and corrosion. It also contains a summary of thermodynamic and kinetic corrosion aspects and methods of metal resistance evaluation. The experimental part deals with the measurements and evaluation of electrochemical characteristics (general corrosion rate, pitting fa...
