At the beginning, the review provides the reader with background of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related techniques such as scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) and electrochemical AFM (EC-AFM). Afterwards, the review presents the current state of corrosion research and specific applications of the techniques in studying important metallic materials for the aircraft and automotive industries. Different corrosion mechanisms of metallic materials are addressed emphasizing the role of intermetallic inclusions, grain boundaries, and impurities as focal points for corrosion initiation and development. The presented information demonstrates the importance of localized studies using AFM-based techniques in understanding corrosion mechanisms of metallic materials and developing efficient means of corrosion prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cmd1030017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,8]],"date-time":"2020-11-08T19:03:37Z","timestamp":1604862217000},"page":"345-372","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Application of AFM-Based Techniques in Studies of Corrosion and Corrosion Inhibition of Metallic Alloys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3596-1154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kiryl","family":"Yasakau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials and Ceramic Engineering, CICECO\u2014Aveiro Institute of Materials, University of Aveiro, Campus of Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, September 27).
