Abstract


The objective of this work is to develop a digital model in order to envisage metal degradation on a microscopic scale. The reaction on the surface of the anodic considered as a degradation reaction when the surface forming the cathode remains unchanged. A one dimensional analytical solution representing the two mediums (anode and cathode), is introduced in the form of boundary conditions of Neumann type to the interface metal/electrolyte and thus the resolution was performed without mesh the analytical zone. Also, no re-meshing solving domain was need when simulating the border deformation.
