An Electrochemical-AFM Study of the Initiation of the Pitting Corrosion of a Martensitic Stainless Steel

“…Many [10,11] or of precipitates [12] have been investigated by air STM. The atomic structures of passive films on austenitic steel [13], on pure iron [14] or on Fe-Cr alloys [15] (Fig. 2a) and show that the particles on the surface are enriched in chromium.…”
