In recent works conducted by the author, a novel technique for monitoring the mechanochemical behaviour, i. e. stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and hydrogen embrittlement, of metallic electrodes in aqueous solutions has been developed. The technique incorporates holographic interferometry for measuring microscopic deformation and electrochemical techniques for determining the corrosion current of metallic samples. In addition, the author have recently reported mathematical models describing the cathodic deposition and anodic dissolution of metals in aqueous solutions by holographic interferometry. Furthermore, the technique of holographic interferometry has been applied to build an optical corrosion-metre for measuring the corrosion of different alloys as well as to evaluate different Epoxy based-coatings applied to protect metals against
