An Assessment of the Processes Leading to Pit Nucleation on Iron

Abstract: In this review the controversial issues of the processes leading to the chemical breakdown of passivity are discussed. The following problems are considered: (i) aggressive anion concentration buildup and the effect of potential; (it) effect of defects and inhomogeneities within the metal phase and/or within the passivating film; (iii) the possibility of incorporation of aggressive ions into the film; (iv) effect of aggressive ions on film thickness and structure; (v) significance of the induction period, and … Show more

“…The higher the I act or the lower the width of the hysteresis loop is, ΔΙ, the greater is the susceptibility of Fe to pitting corrosion. Comparing the aggressiveness of Cl -and Br -in terms of the I act or ΔΙ , the order Cl -> Br -is found, in agreement with the order found from the nonlinear dynamical response obtained under potential-controlled conditions Sazou et al, 2000a), as well as with literature data based on other criteria (Janik-Czachor, 1981;Macdonald, 1992;Strehblow, 1995).…”

“…This film retards the corrosion process as it can limit or arrest further metal dissolution by acting as a physical barrier to the corrosion reaction, resulting in a decrease in corrosion rate .Also, the rate of corrosion is controlled by diffusion through the corrosion product layers, i.e., when the thickness of the oxide layer increases the diffusion rate decreases resulting in simultaneous decrease in corrosion rate with time 32 . However, it is expected that, on further increase in immersion time, a sudden increase in corrosion rate is taking place due to breakdown of passive film by the action of chloride ions, due to their breakdown action on the passive film 33 . The chloride ions may be associated with the ability of these anions to adsorb on the passive film (at the bottom of cracks and pores in the oxide film) causing increase in corrosion rate 34 .…”

“…These phenomena are well known, but their mechanistic explanation can be different, in spite of numerous studies. Various mechanisms, known up to 80s of XX century have been published in several reviews, cf., e.g., [57][58][59]. Later in 1985, Williams et al have presented the stochastic models of pitting corrosion of stainless steels based on the idea of stabilization of individual pits [60].…”
