The auxiliary electrode may be isolated from the working electrode using a glass frit. Such isolation prevents any byproducts generated at the auxiliary electrode from contaminating the main test solution: for example, if a reduction is being performed at the working electrode in aqueous solution, oxygen may be evolved from the auxiliary electrode.

Both of these electrodes are balanced by a single reference and auxiliary combination for an overall four-electrode design. More complicated experiments may add working electrodes, reference, or auxiliary electrodes as required. [7] In practice it can be important to have a working electrode with known dimensions and surface characteristics.
The connection can be direct, through a narrow tube to reduce mixing, or through a salt bridge, depending on the other electrode and solution. This creates an ionically conductive path to the working electrode of interest. A reference electrode is an electrode that has a stable and well-known electrode potential.
In brief, corrosion is a chemical reaction occurring by an electrochemical mechanism (a redox reaction). [1] During corrosion of iron or steel there are two reactions, oxidation (equation 1), where electrons leave the metal (and the metal dissolves, i.e. actual loss of metal results) and reduction, where the electrons are used to convert oxygen and water to hydroxide ions (equation 2): [2]
SAE 316 stainless steel is a molybdenum-alloyed steel and the second most common austenitic stainless steel (after grade 304). It is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion than most other grades of steel without molybdenum. [ 1 ]
In electrochemistry, the working electrode is the electrode in an electrochemical system on which the reaction of interest is occurring. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The working electrode is often used in conjunction with an auxiliary electrode , and a reference electrode in a three-electrode system .
The copper rod protrudes out of the tube. A voltmeter negative lead is connected to the copper rod. The potential of a copper–copper sulfate electrode is +0.314 volt with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode. [citation needed] Copper–copper(II) sulfate electrode is also used as one of the half cells in the galvanic Daniel-Jakobi cell.
