The effect of chelating agent on the cathodic reduction of the passive film on iron has been studied. The results from the potentiodynamic polarisation and galvanostatic reduction curves indicated that the contribution of chelating agent was to expedite the reduction of the passive film, and eventua

β¦ Synopsis
Abstrac(-Pure iron specimens anodically oxidized at +600 mV (us see) for one minute were partially reduced with a cathodic current of lOpA/crn" and then reoxidized at the same potential for one hour. The experiment was performed in a boric acid/borate buffer solution at pH = 8.43 at room temperature. Variation in the thickness of the oxide film during the experiment is discussed for an inner Fe,04 and outer y-Fe203 layers, with emphasis on the effect of cathodic treatment. In the discussion, the amounts of charges for anodic and cathodic processes and the amount of dissolved Fe*+ ions during cathodic reduction are utilized.

## Abstract The passivating oxide layer on iron grows by transfer of oxygen ions from the solution into the oxide. As expected theoretically, the dissolution rate of iron ions increases with the growth rate of the layer. In neutral solution the current efficiency for oxide growth is larger than in

The effect of illumination on passivity and the initiation of pitting corrosion on pure iron in borate buffer pH 8.4 is studied. It is observed that a monochromatic (325 nm) illumination of the sample leads to a very strong increase in its pitting corrosion resistance-apparent from pitting potential
