A new approach for the measurement of noise resistance based on the transient behavior of pitting corrosion is presented. Potential noise and current transients have been recognized as a characteristic behavior of pitting corrosion. This new approach uses the transient information present during corrosion as a way to estimate the noise resistance of coated metals directly. Computer simulation and analytical results are presented, indicating that the new technique can be applied to the problem of noise resistance estimation. This new approach was applied to experimental electrochemical noise data obtained with commercial electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)/electrochemcial noise measurement (ENM) equipment.
