In the present work, the corrosion current density of a low carbon steel, a pure aluminum, a stainless steel, a copper–nickel alloy were obtained in 1 M NaOH, 1 M KCl, 1 M NaCl, 1 M H2SO4 solutions, respectively. The obtained corrosion data from the optical interferometry technique, as a zero resistance Ammeter were compared with corrosion data obtained on the same alloys, in the specified solutions, from an electronic zero resistance-Ammeter as well as from the linear polarization method. The comparison among the three techniques indicates that there is a contrast in the results among the investigated alloys. In general, the results of the optical interferometry were found to fall in between the corrosion values of the zero resistance ammeter and the linear polarization method, because the technique works based on the electromagnetic principle, in the absence of electronic noise. As a result, the optical interferometry can be considered as a useful zero resistance-Ammeter for measuring the corrosion current density of metallic electrodes in aqueous solutions, at the open circuit potential of the electrodes in the aqueous solutions.
