Abstract: Corrosion behavior of carbon steel beneath seawater droplets was investigated by using the wire electrode technique (WBE). It was found that anodic and cathodic current decreased gradually with the increasing time, then eventually kept stable. Furthermore, the current distribution over the WBE surface beneath seawater droplets of different sizes was studied. Beneath a smaller droplet, the carbon steel was more easily to form an asymmetric electrochemical area. In addition, a concept of droplet spreadability was defined. The average current density increased exponentially with the increasing droplet spreadability, the maximum value and the standard deviation of the anodic current density increased linearly, at the same time, the corrosion intensity enhanced.
