Corrosion Monitors for Embedded Evaluation

Robinson, Alex L.; Pfeifer, Kent B.; Casias, Adrian L.; Howell, Stephen W.; Sorensen, Neil R.; Missert, Nancy A.

We have developed and characterized novel in-situ corrosion sensors to monitor and quantify the corrosive potential and history of localized environments. Embedded corrosion sensors can provide information to aid health assessments of internal electrical components including connectors, microelectronics, wires, and other susceptible parts. When combined with other data (e.g. temperature and humidity), theory, and computational simulation, the reliability of monitored systems can be predicted with higher fidelity.
