Claim Text:
1. A corrosion resistance evaluator comprising: a chamber suitable for retaining an electrolyte therein; an anode holder located on the chamber and suitable for retaining an anode having an anode coating coated thereon and wherein the anode holder is suitable for holding the anode such that at least a portion of the anode coating is exposed to the electrolyte; a cathode holder located on the chamber and suitable for retaining a cathode having a cathode coating coated thereon and wherein the cathode holder is suitable for holding the cathode such that at least a portion of the cathode coating is exposed to the electrolyte; an anode assembly comprising the anode holder; a cathode assembly comprising the cathode holder, wherein the chamber, an anode assembly, and a cathode assembly form an inverted “Y,” wherein the anode assembly and the cathode assembly each form a leg of the inverted “Y”; a direct current variable power generator with DC output leads suitable for electrically connecting to the cathode and the anode for applying desired DC voltages for desired durations across the cathode, the electrolyte and the anode; an alternating current variable power generator with AC output leads suitable for electrically connecting to the cathode and the anode for applying desired AC voltages at variable frequencies for desired durations across the cathode, the electrolyte and the anode; and a computer usable storage medium located in a computer that is electrically coupled to the direct current variable power generator, and the alternating current variable power generator, wherein a computer readable program product resides in the computer usable storage medium, the computer readable program product configured to calculate the corrosion performance resistance of the anode and the cathode.
