Both thermodynamic and kinetic corrosion process parameters are determined with electrochemical methods. Results are used for a deeper understanding of the established interfacial structures and ongoing processes and of the effects of experimental parameters. Frequently data are used for the evaluation of corrosion inhibitor efficiencies. In case data from just one electrochemical method are used, the validity of the method and data should be verified and critical points must be identified. In this study, we have compared results from three standard electrochemical methods obtained with a common steel sample in an acidic environment and in the presence of three representative aromatic inhibitors. We have noticed significant differences between the results; therefore we suggest rationalization and practical consequences.
