Analysis on surface film formed on high-strength carbon steels in acidic phosphate solution and its relationship with localized corrosion in a 3.5% NaCl solution

The nature of a passive film formed on high-strength carbon steel and degradation of its passivity in acidic phosphate solutions were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical polarization measurements. This study reveals that the steels show typical passivation and local...
