Abstract: A method and apparatus for the indentification of corrosion in a metal object is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing the statistical distribution of signals generated between two electrodes, typically exposed to the same corrosion conditions as the metal object, and preferably analyzes the skewness and kurtosis of the signals. Neural nets are preferably used in the analysis.
