Estimating the term…
A method for detecting the onset of and/or monitoring the progress of localized corrosion of one or more locations on the surface of a corrodible metal article in a corrosive environment is provided which comprises the step of placing one or more magnetic field corrosion sensing devices, e.g., a magnetometer, in juxtaposition with the corrosive metal article, e.g., a steel rebar in concrete, such that the magnetic field corrosion sensing devices can effectively measure the magnetic fields associated with the localized corrosion of the locations on the surface of the corrodible metal article and determine the degree of localized corrosion occurring at the locations on the surface of the corrodible metal article being monitored.
