Pit initiation on passivated metal surfaces: crystallographic orientation and environmental effects

The susceptibility to pitting corrosion of tin and zinc was found to be dependent on the crystallographic orientation of the surface in chloride solutions. For tin single crystals, the(111) face showed the lowest critical pitting potential among five differently oriented surfaces. The critical pitti...
