โฆ Synopsis
Galvanostatic polarization has been performed on passive iron and nickel in the range of constant current density. Two techniques have been employed (i) successive polarization measurements are made without interruption, (ii) the stationary state is established between each two galvanostatic readings. In each case, the E/log i lines show no tendency of intersection at the Flade potential. The same conclusions have been reached from the dependence on potential of the'amount of electricity absorbed during growth of the oxide. Attempts to fit the results within the framework of the oxide theory of passivity throws some doubt on the signitlcance previously ascribed to the Flade potential. The nearly parallel displacement of the E/log i lines is explained as due to the increase of the width of the energy barrier for ionic transport with increase of oxide thickness.
R&u&-On a real% la polarisation galvanostatique sur le fer et le nickel passifs dans un domaine de densite de courant constante. On a employ& deux techniques: (i) execution sans interruption de mesures de polarisation successives, (ii) etablissement de l'etat stationnaire entre deux lectures galvanostatiques.
Dans chaque cas, les lignes E/log i ne montrent aucune tendance a l'intersection au potential de Flade. On parvient aux memes conclusions en considerant la dependance de la quantite d'&ctricite absorb&z par rapport au potentiel pendant la croissance de l'oxyde. Des tentatives d'interpretation des resultats selon la theorie de la passivite basQ sur la charpente de l'oxyde suscitent des doutes sur la signification prtidemment dorm&e au potentiel de Flade. Le d$lacement presque parallble des lignes E/log i est explique par l'accroissement de la largeur de la barriere d'tnergie pour le transport ionique, quand s'accroit l'tpaisseur de l'oxyde.
Zusammenfassuog-An
passivem Eisen und Nickel wurden galvanostatische Polarisationsuntersuchungen im Gebiet der konstanten Stromdichte durchgeftihrt.
Man verwendete zwei verschiedene Methoden: (i) aufeinanderfolgende Polarisationsmessungen wurden ohne Unterbruch vorgenommen ; (ii) zwischen den galvanostatischen Messungen wurde jeweils die Elektrode in den station&en Zustand gebracht. In beiden Fallen zeigen die E/log i-Linien keine Tendenz eines Schnittpunktes beim Flade-Potential, Zum gleichen Ergebnis kam man durch Messung der Potentialabhangigkeit der wlhrend des Wachsens des Oxyds verbrauchten Elektrizit%tsmenge. Die Versuche, die Ergebnisse in das Gebaude der Oxydtheorie der Pas&it&t einzubauen, zeigen, dass die Signihkanz, welche vorgiingig dem Flade-Potential zugeschrieben wurde, zweifelhaft ist. Die nahezu parallele Verschiebung der E/log i-Linien wird damit e&l&t, dass die Breite der Energiebarriere des ion&hen Transports mit zunehmender Oxydschichtdicke grosser wird.

The photopotential decay showed a second order reaction kinetic. The photopotential decay on titanium was found to be much slower than on iron
