## Abstract The formation of Fe^2+^βions is studied in 0.5 M H~2~SO~4~ and 1 M HClO~4~ during changes of the potential of passivated iron specimen with the rotatingβringβdisk technique. An Fe^2+^βpulse is found during the decrease of the electrode potential serving as an indicator for the short exp

β¦ Synopsis
The passivity and passivity breakdown of polycrystalline iron is investigated through electrochemical methods complemented with ellipsometry, by employing plain 0.04 M NaOH and saturated Ca(OH), solutions with the addition of chloride salt of concentrations up to 1 M. The comparative results indicate that the initial reactions of Fe(OH), formation at the inner part of the passive layer level (Fe,O,) are only slightly influenced by either the cation or the presence of Cl-ion in solution, in contrast to their large influence at the outer part of the passive layer (hydrous FeOOH species) where Fe2+/Fe3+ redox reactions take place. At high positive potential the breakdown of passivity is also influenced by both Clion and cation present in solution.

Passivation of spec-pure Sn was studied in aerated, unstirred solutions of acid sulphate (H2S04/Na2S04) and neutral suphate (Na2S04) using the potentiodynamic technique from an initial cathodic potential (-ve to open circuit potential) in the anodic direction and backwards to the initial potential.
The electrochemical behaviour of the Cd electrode in O-1-6 N NaOH has been investigated. Both the potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques were employed. It has been shown that the electrode surface is primarily covered with a porous layer of Cd(OH), which is precipitated from the solution. Above
The effect of pH on the passivity of Sn has been investigated in buffered (phthalate-borate, and citrate phosphate buffer series), and in unbuffered phosphate solutions, using the cyclic voltammetric technique. Two anodic peaks; the first being more pronounced than the second, and one cathodic peak
