“…The corrosion current in this ease is analogous to the exchange current of a noncorroding electrode. In the data reported by Straumanis (25,26) for the linear dependence of H overvoltage on applied current for Ti in HF, the region where Tafel behavior would be expected to appear had not been reached experimentally because of the high corrosion current under the conditions of test. For example, the corrosion rate of Ti in 1N HF has been reported as equivalent to 85 ma/cm 2 (28), while the overvoltage measurements were not carried farther than 50 ma/cm 2.…”

aqueous reaction to form the hydrated fluorides which are subsequently dehydrated at elevated temperatures in an atmosphere of HF gas. Extensive studies were made of the conditions for the preparation of high-purity ZrF4, and pilot plant equipment is described which was used to prepare 100 lb batches of the fluorides.The reduction step was investigated thoroughly, particularly for Zr, and those factors which affect metal quality and yield were determined. Reduction yields of 96 % were obtained with both Zr and Hf. After are-melting, the sponge Zr had a hardness of 40-45 Rockwell A and was readily cold-rolled into sheet. Zr metal thus prepared had a purity of about 99.8%.Hf metal, similarly prepared, had a hardness of 69 Rockwell A and was hot-rolled but was too brittle to be easily cold worked. The Hf was low in metallic impurities, but contained considerable amounts of C, N, and oxygen. ACXNOWLI~DGMENTS ABSTRACTAt low overvoltage values, deviations from Tafel behavior for a noncorroding electrode are due primarily to the reverse reaction of the oxidation-reduction system, and at high overvoltages to concentration and/or resistance polarization. It is shown further that the practice of placing straight lines through a few experimental points is extremely hazardous, while the indiscriminate introduction of "breaks" is contrary to the electrode kinetics described.Further complexities arising from a corroding electrode are described. In this instance, the forward and reverse reactions of both of the oxidation-reduction systems forming the corrosion couple must be considered. This representation of the local polarization diagram of a corroding metal is more fundamental than that used previously in the literature, and thus provides a clearer picture of the various factors which affect the corrosion rate and the shape of polarization curves.A region of linear dependence of potential on applied current is described for a corroding electrode by treating it in a manner analogous to that for a noncorroding electrode. An equation is derived relating the slope of this linear region to the corrosion rate and Tafel slopes. This relation provides an important new experimental approach to the study of the electrochemistry of corroding metals since, in some instances, interfering reactions prevent determination of T~fel slopes at higher current densities.Polarization measurements are an important research tool in investigations of a variety of electrochemical phenomena. Such measurements pernfit studies of the reaction mechanism and the kinetics of corrosion phenomena and metal deposition. In spite of their wide applicability and extensive use, considerable uncertainty in the interpretation of polarization measurements still exists. Some of the uncertainties include the proper method of plotting data and the correct interpretation of "breaks" in polarization curves. Abrupt changes in slope of overvoltage vs. log current have been given considerable significance in the past few years. Logan (1) examined various methods of plotti...

“…A few qualitative correlations can, however, be made. Straumanis et al 57 indicate that there was not a long delay from the time when the specimens were put into the solution until tests were begun. Therefore they probably did not have a surface hydride except in the strong acid solutions.…”
