In order to rapidly perform batch detection on the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor, the detection method of the present application is preferably implemented in a temperature and humidity alternating box which can provide stable and consistent temperature and humidity conditions.
Fig. 1 shows a detailed process for detecting the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor under the humidity condition provided by an alternating temperature and humidity box.
As shown in fig. 1, first, the insulation resistance value of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor to be detected is detected, and whether the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor is effective or not is preliminarily determined based on the detected insulation resistance value. Insulation resistance between the anode and cathode of the galvanic atmospheric corrosion sensor was measured using a multimeter in a laboratory environment, i.e., at 25 ℃ and 30% RH. Specifically, the anode of the multimeter is connected with the anode of the couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor, the other pole of the multimeter is connected with the cathode of the couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor, and the detected insulation resistance value is 80M omega.
And then, detecting the corrosion current of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor in a temperature and humidity alternating box under different humidity conditions. The temperature and humidity alternating test box can generate different temperature and humidity environments and is used for changing atmospheric corrosivity. Because the relative humidity has a large influence on the atmospheric corrosivity, the temperature in the temperature and humidity alternating box is stabilized at 25 ℃, and the atmospheric corrosivity is changed by adjusting the humidity. The humiture alternating box generally provides humidity condition through shallow water dish, steam or water spray's mode, and the state that humidity is inhomogeneous may exist in the box, and galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is extremely sensitive to the humidity in the environment, and the humiture precision of alternating test case is 5% in addition, so place the high accuracy humiture sensor that the precision can reach 1% in the position of being close to galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor.
And (3) placing a couple atmospheric corrosion sensor to be detected in the temperature and humidity alternating box, connecting lead wires of two poles of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor with a high-precision current detection device with the precision of more than 0.01nA, such as an electrochemical workstation or a picoammeter, and starting to detect the corrosion current after the temperature and humidity alternating box is started and operates stably for more than 1h, preferably 2 h. The electrochemical workstation suitable for this application preferably has high quality, high stability, high resolution, high sampling rate, can be used directly for steady-state current measurement on the ultramicroelectrode, and is connected with a micro-current amplifier and a shielding box, and can measure a current of 1pA or less.
Next, adjusting the internal space of the temperature and humidity alternating box to ensure that the humidity is 10% -50% RH, detecting the corrosion current density value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor after the temperature and the humidity are stably maintained for half an hour, and if the corrosion current density value is detected to be 0.1nA/cm2And continuing the method to the next step, otherwise, judging that the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is unqualified, and ending the detection process.
Next, adjusting the humidity of the inner space of the temperature and humidity alternating box to 50% RH +/-3% RH, after the temperature and the humidity are stably maintained for half an hour, detecting the corrosion current density value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor by using an electrochemical workstation or a picoampere meter, and if the corrosion current density value is detectedUntil the corrosion current density value is 0.1-1nA/cm2If so, the method continues to the next step, otherwise, the galvanic atmospheric corrosion sensor is judged to be unqualified, and the detection process is ended.
Next, adjusting the humidity of the inner space of the temperature and humidity alternating box to 80% RH +/-3% RH, after the temperature and the humidity are stably maintained for half an hour, detecting the corrosion current density value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor by using an electrochemical workstation or a picoampere meter, and if the corrosion current density value is detected to be 5-20nA/cm2And if not, judging that the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is unqualified, and ending the detection process.
Then, the humidity of the inner space of the temperature and humidity alternating box is adjusted to 98% RH +/-3% RH, after the temperature and the humidity are stably maintained for half an hour, the corrosion current density value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is detected by using an electrochemical workstation or a picoammeter, and if the corrosion current density value is detected to be 300 plus 800nA/cm2And if not, judging that the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is unqualified, and ending the detection process.
As mentioned above, the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor is placed in the temperature and humidity alternating box and in the position close to the couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor to be detected, so that the humidity data of the environment where the couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is located can be monitored and recorded by the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor while the corrosion current value of the couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor is detected and recorded. Based on the detected and recorded corrosion current value data of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor and the humidity data monitored and recorded by the high-precision temperature and humidity sensor, the condition that the corrosion current of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor changes along with the humidity change and the response condition of the corrosion current to the humidity change can be analyzed and judged. Theoretically, the corrosion current value of a qualified couple atmospheric corrosion sensor increases along with the increase of humidity and decreases along with the decrease of humidity, the follow-up property is good, and the response speed is preferably not more than 1 s.
The technical solution of the present application is further described below by two specific examples.

The electrode area is 10cm2。
First, the insulation resistance between the anode and the cathode of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor was measured at 25 ℃ and 30% RH using a multimeter. The anode of the multimeter is connected with the anode of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor, the other pole of the multimeter is connected with the cathode of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor, and the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor is preliminarily judged to be effective when the resistance value is detected to be 80 MOmega.
Next, in the temperature and humidity alternating box described above, corrosion current detection is performed on the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor preliminarily judged to be effective. And (3) putting the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor to be detected into a temperature and humidity alternating box, connecting leads of two poles of the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor with an electrochemical workstation with the precision of more than 0.01nA, and simultaneously placing a high-precision temperature and humidity sensor at a position close to the couple atmospheric corrosion sensor. And starting to detect the corrosion current after the temperature and humidity alternating box is started and operates stably for 2 h.
Then, the corrosion current value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor at 25 ℃ and 10% -50% RH is detected. Adjusting the internal space of the temperature and humidity alternating box to ensure that the humidity is 10-50% RH, detecting the corrosion current density value of the galvanic couple type atmospheric corrosion sensor after the temperature and the humidity are stably maintained for half an hour, and detecting that the corrosion current density value is 0.1nA/cm2The method then proceeds to the next step.
