In general, thermodynamics is an excellent starting point for many corrosion studies, and potential – pH diagrams are essential tools. For this reason, Pourbaix diagrams continue to be developed for interpreting corrosion studies in specific systems of engineering importance. As every good engineer knows, however, predictions must be tested experimentally and validated before using them, and predictions arrived at using Pourbaix diagrams are no exception to this general rule.
