Résumé : This investigation proposes using Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy (SECCM) as a high throughput tool to collect corrosion activity from randomly probed locations on 316 L SS. In the presence of chloride, potentiodynamic polarisation tests triggered the development of pitting corrosion. Data science methods were deployed to handle and explore 955 j Vs E curves. Normality tests and fitting with theoretical functions were used to understand the conditional log(j) distributions at different potentials. Unimodal and uniform distributions were assigned to the passive and pitting regions. Our “big-data” local strategy revealed a potential-dependent distribution of log(j), with the randomness increasing with testing aggressiveness.
