β¦ Synopsis
Passive 8hn growth, electrodissolution and pitting corrosion of iridium electrodes in NaCl solutions in the pH range 2-12.6 were studied using potentiostatic and potentiodynamic techniques complemented with SEM. In the pH range between 10.5 and 12.6 the oxide formation should involve a mixed control, a surface reaction plus a diffusion process. On decreasing pH the process becomes more complex due to the formation of In(I). The effect of chloride ions upon the active and passive behaviour of indium has been determined. Chloride ions in neutral and alkaline solutions produce pitting at potential values more. positive than those of the active-passive transition. Localized corrosion appears to be under a competitive surface mechanism involving the formation of the passive film and the nucleation and growth of an indium chloride salt layer.

AImract--Galvanostatic experiments have been made on iron electrodes in hydrogen-poor and hydrogen-saturated alkaline solutions at 20Β°C. Emphasis was on the active behaviour of iron, but attention was also paid to its passivation. The mechanism of the anodic dissolution of active iron is found to b
The anodic behaviour of vanadium in acid solutions was studied in the presence of various anions and cations. Vanadium shows active hehaviour in all the solutions tested, except for some barium containing ones at pH >4, in which the metal is passivated at potentials positive to 0.09 V&e). It is foun
When an oxide-free tin surface is anodically polarized in deaerated 0.1 M sodium borate at a c.d. of about 6 #A/cm ~ the potential of the tin remains constant at first at --0-85 V vs. Ag/AgCI. Half the current is used for oxide formation and half for tin dissolution. This process continues even when
