The potentiostatic test is usually performed to determine resistance to pit initiation at a given potential and to simulate galvanic situations using any of Gill AC 8 12 Field Machine and manual potentiostat set to a stable potential whilst recording the current. In the study of pitting the cyclic sweep method can have problems related to sweep rate and too much pitting propagation before sweep reversal. The use of individual samples held at potentials around the suspected pitting potential will allow the correct determination of the pitting potential.
