Corrosion Passivation Mechanisms by dangminh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Passivation generates corrosion protection of metals through the formation of a thin, adhering oxide layer. For iron, a porous layer forms in neutral solutions, while an protective 2nm layer forms in alkaline solutions above pH 10. Passivation requires metal oxidation and water to provide oxide ions. It is more likely for active metals with low redox potentials. Factors like high pH, oxygen, and water content promote passivation. Passive behavior is shown through polarization curves with a current density d
