Sudden Onset of Pitting Corrosion on Stainless Steel as a Critical Phenomenon.

Abstract: Detailed, time-resolved, in situ visualizations of the onset of pitting corrosion of stainless steel directly in the electrolyte (0.05 M NaCl) by ellipsomicroscopy for surface imaging and specially adapted high-resolution contrast-enhanced optical microscopy indicate that the sudden onset of corrosion can be explained by an explosive autocatalytic growth of metastable pits. Stabilization of individual pits takes place only later. This finding agrees with a theoretical approach treating the onset of pitting cor… Show more

“…The metal surface apparently has a fixed number of these inclusions, i.e. sites for pit nucleation, as observed in recent works by Punckt et al [21] and Zimer et al [22]. The absence of pit creation at close distance of already existing pits is another issue http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2014.01.010 0010-938X/Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…”
