Abstract: This paper concerns with the applications of the boundary element method to electric field problem associated with corrosion.To treat the nonlinear boundary conditions introduced by nonlinear polarization characteristics, an iterative technique is proposed. This analysis is applied to a galvanic corrosion couple and compared with the experimental results. Procedures presented in this paper have been shown to be accurate, convergent and efficient.

Key words: electric field associated with corrosion, boundary method, nonlinearities due to boundary conditions.
