Corrosion of metals and alloys — Electrochemical measurement of ion transfer resistance to characterize the protective rust layer on weathering steel

This document specifies a method for the electrochemical measurement of ion transfer resistance of the rust layer formed on weathering steel alloys in order to assess their protective properties against corrosion thereafter^[3]. This method uses an electrochemical AC impedance measurement^{[4][5][6][7][8]}_, together with harmonic analysis, to identify the ion transfer resistance, and a rust thickness measurement to characterize the stability of the protective rust layer in terms of corrosion protection under used environments.
