## Abstract A literature survey has lead to the conclusion that a theory which postulates an increased anodic reactivity on a local site in the passive film is very probable. Experiments have been set up to confirm these suggestions. By means of the electronβmicroanalyser, it is shown that CI^β^ion

Abstract
The variation of the critical pitting potential of a zincalloy was studied in aerated NaOH solutions as a function of the concentration of the aggressive ions, Cl^β^, Br^β^ and I^β^. Curves with segmented nature were obtained when E~pitting~ was plotted versus logarithm of the halogen ion concentrations. Initiation of pitting corrosion was discussed on the basis of formation of complex haloβcompounds with the oxides/hydroxides that constitute the passive surface film.
Addition of chromate, phosphate and carbonate ions to the halogenβcontaining solutions causes the shift of the critical pitting potential in the noble direction, accounting for increased resistance to pitting attack. Nitriteβion additions contribute with the halogen ions in the destruction of the passive film. Sufficient concentrations of the carbonate ions cause complete inhibition of pitting corrosion.

## Abstract The corrosion of 304 Austenitic and 430 Ferritic Stainless steels in sulphuric acid solutions has been investigated using polarization resistance (Rp) technique. Different organic inhibitors were used in this study and these contain an allylic group (CH~2~ ο£Ύ CH~2~ ο£Ώ). The effect of acid
