Summary:

Estimate Tafel Extrapolation using tangent lines on a data plot.

Screen Shot and Video:
Description:

Purpose
This app can be used to estimate the Tafel Extrapolation, and output the corresponding values (e.g. anodic/cathodic curve function, corrosion potential and current, anodic/cathodic curve's slope and angle).

Installation
Download the file "Tafel Extrapolation.opx". Then drag-and-drop the file onto the Origin workspace.

Operation

  1. With a graph window active, select the "Tafel Extrapolation" app icon from the Apps panel. A dialog will open. The dialog provides options for the app gadget.
  2. Click the Help button in the top right corner of the dialog to open the help file. The file includes an explanation of dialog box settings, plus an example.

Updates:

v1.51: update localization
v1.5: fix Icorr in Nonlogarithmic Form checkbox failed to work issue
v1.4: support for natural and 10 base logarithmic
v1.3: add option for keeping tangent line when output
v1.2: support for Icorr,a and Icorr,c
v1.1: fixed failed to open issue in Origin 2018

01/28/2026OriginLabHi yunesbnf,

You can output Ecorr and Icorr's value to check.
Or could you please send us the opju file you are working on and also tell us the detailed steps to reproduce the issue, so that we can further check what went wrong with this app?

01/27/2026yunesbnfi am using this app, but i can't see the Ecorr and Icorr, it is like they are hidden or something, i have already checked them, but they are not there, did someone solve this issue

06/17/2025f.dalantaThis add-in is so useful. I can save much time by using this tool. good job and thanks origin!

05/19/2025 ok

10/13/2024YeeeeeeeeQgood good!!!!thank you origin!!!!!

05/15/2024srwangI would like to tell the people in the comment who are experiencing "the output is not two tangents but two curves": before using this app, you should first log the current data, and then plot the processed current data, so that the X-axis (or Y-axis) scale is linear, and thus the output is two tangents.

01/19/2024c-lookHello, why is the tangent line out of my extrapolation method not a straight line but two curves, and how to solve this problem?

11/10/2022OriginLabHi gshafiee,
This App required Origin 2016 and later version. Origin 8.5 cannot use it.

Thanks,
OriginLab Tech Service

11/07/2022gshafieeI can't find apps panel in OriginPro 8.5

06/16/2022nakayama-kohei-jkHello. The line of the Turfelput extrapolation method becomes a curved line instead of a straight line. How can I solve it? Also, if log is used on the horizontal axis, is it not displayed properly? ??

06/15/2022OriginLabHi anstn0127, I am afraid this tool can not support log scale. Mainly because it is difficult to calculate the position of various objects, it is not supported by design. We can log the data before using this App. After log processing, there is an option to display the data before log processing. "Show on Graph: Icorr in Nonlogarithmic Form" under "ROI Box" tab of the dialog.

06/13/2022anstn0127Is it possible to extrapolate in log scale of x-axis? I'm getting weird anodic and cathodic tafel constant.

04/08/2022matin.yahyaviThe app calculates the Icorr always Icorr=1.000. How cxan I fix the problem?

02/22/2022OriginLabsherazyousaf,

Once you obtain the tangent line equation in the output sheet, you can go to menu File->New->Function Plot->New 2D Function Plot..., In the dialog, type in the line function and add the line to the graph.

02/22/2022sherazyousafi have find the values but unable to plot this selected liner region of graph along with tangent separately. App shows a sheet named "TmpBkTafel" it has a number of columns but not sure about selection of specific columns to plot separately.

01/13/2022WoshilianxinVery good

06/15/2021Mik95Very useful

04/15/2021XinruiHOnce had the 'curve fitting' as well, I managed to solve that by Log scaled the data before adding them into the workbook.
Very useful! Thank you.

04/10/2021HKheirabadiIt was perfect. Please add polarization resistance measurement.
Users should note that in order for this App to work one should have his/her current density in the logarithmic format ( Like -7, -6 , -5 , -4 , ... NOT 1e-7, 1e-6, 1e-5, ...)

04/22/2020claudiagmI have the same problem as Fernando. I am using OriginPro 2020 and it fits curves instead of tangent lines, so the results are too different. How can I change this? Thanks

03/12/2020OriginLabHi forooza2,
Are you using Origin 2016 or later versions? Could you pleaes tell what problem you ran into?

03/10/2020forooza2Doesn't work!

04/24/2019OriginLabHi ferdinando, could you send the data to our technical service? And then we can see what help to do for you with your data.

04/19/2019ferdinandoHello! I ploted my linear polarization but whwn I want to use Tafel Extrapolation not show linear line but curves.

03/25/2019iCalculatevery useful !!!!!!

12/23/201800114899can't download

11/28/2018Mory6753it seems useful. i should test it for more data and graphs. thank you origin

10/16/2018OriginLabHi miftachulnurafifah, in this app, the x axis is linear, but the x data is logarithmic data, here show Icorr in Nonlogarithmic Form is to show the Icorr as exp(Icorr).

10/14/2018miftachulnurafifahwhy I cannot use Icorr in nonlogarithmic form?

08/29/2018OriginLabHi Ksenchy, thank you for your comments, we will look into updating the App.

08/29/2018KsenchySince the link for contacting directly the person who submitted the file exchange item doesn't works, here is one more suggestion - could you make a direct conversion and value of the Icorr in nonlogarithmic form? It would be great to have Tafel analysis in Origin, thanks for starting this app.

08/29/2018KsenchyThanks for this app, it is very useful. Would be possible to add some features, like to put the line through Ecorr back to tangent in order to calculate Icorr, a and Icoor, c ? Also, very useful would be possibility to see how good is the fitting of the curves, i.e. tangent in chossen area.

07/02/2018gourharighosh25I have tried a lot but not able to do

05/06/2018Thu_NguyenHow to use ???

11/21/20171137888138I can not find the app panel anyway

06/25/2017HIT_WangI want to try this.

04/10/2017Leo9527Only can you use this tool to do the tafel curve analyze when the potential is Y axis,and you can't change it!?
I can't find the settlement in the operation panel anyway,it's so suck.

11/23/2016caobinIn which the tafel curve can not be a good adjustment of the location of the two tangent, when I adjust it will automatically change the location of the cut point, and the corrosion current and voltage of the annotation is also reversed, the accuracy is poor (my version is leaning Edition.)
