Improvement of Passivity of Fe - xCr Alloys (x < 10%) by Cycling Through the Reactivation Potential

Classically 13% Cr is required for stable passivity of steel in acidic and neutral solutions. Some authors (Mansfeld, Fujimoto) have published potential cycling procedures that generate thick Cr-rich films. Fujimoto cycles right to the transpassivity potential and back in H2SO4 solution. Our idea is...
