ABSTRACT |
A method for controlling and protecting corrosion is disclosed, according to an illustrative embodiment of a present invention. The method includes immersing a metal in a solution for reaching a steady state of corrosion potential of the metal. The corrosion potential of metal is measured. The method includes fixing potential of the metal with respect to a reference electrode and forming a circuit. The circuit is interrupted when current flow direction changes. The corrosion can be controlled and prevented by bringing the potential of the metal to a potential of zero charge.
