Working Principle

The YM011 provides a controlled vessel for electrochemical corrosion testing of coated samples. During a typical experiment, the coated specimen serves as the working electrode and is exposed to a selected electrolyte. A compatible reference electrode provides a reference potential, while the auxiliary electrode completes the electrochemical circuit.

An electrochemical workstation can apply a specified potential or current and measure the resulting response. Depending on the test method, the collected data may help evaluate coating corrosion resistance, electrochemical stability, and coating defects.

The exact electrode arrangement, exposed sample area, electrolyte, and test procedure should be selected according to the coating system and applicable testing standard.
