Abstract: | Passivation and its breakdown reactions have been studied on Mo-containing stainless steel specimens using different electrochemical techniques. Mo-containing stainless steel specimens were polarized in both naturally aerated NaCl and Na2SO4 solutions of different concentrations at 25 ± 0.2 °C between −1000 and 1500 mV versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The results of potentiodynamic polarization showed that icorr and ic increases with increasing either Cl− or SO42− concentration indicating the decrease in passivity of the formed film. EIS measurements under open circuit conditions confirmed that the passivity of the film decrease with increase in either Cl− or SO42− concentration. |
