The corrosion rate of a metal could be measured by applying a small amplitude sinusoidal AC potential and determining the harmonics present in the resulting current. In this paper, it is demonstrated, that the corrosion rate can also be obtained by current-controlled techniques. The first technique consists in applying a current controlled small amplitude AC singal DELTA I sin omega t, super imposed over DC of sufficient magnitude to keep the system in the Tafel region. The resulting AC and DC potential responses enable the corrosion rate to be determined. In the second method described here, a signal of the form DELTA I 10 ** DELTA **E**. **K**. **s**i**n omega **t is applied to the system through a galvanostat. The resulting sinusoidal AC and DC potential responses are used to determine corrosion rate. Experimental results on the application of these techniques to a system of mild steel in IN sulphuric acid are presented and compared with the results obtained by classical logarithmic polarisation techniques.
