摘要

The effects of CrO42- and MoO42- ions on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in 0.5 M NaCl solution have been studied using electrochemical measurements and atomic force microscopy. The results suggest that both ions have good inhibition effects on the general and pitting corrosion of carbon steel. At the same concentration, the inhibition efficiency of CrO42- is higher than that of MoO42-. The passive film formed by CrO42- is also much harder than that formed by MoO42-. The passive films formed by both ions are nonconductive. Microsc. Res. Tech., 2013.
