An electrochemical and surface analytical investigation of iron oxidation, passivation and corrosion inhibition

A combined electrochemical and surface analytical study of iron oxidation, passive film formation and corrosion inhibitor interaction is presented. Ultrahigh vacuum surface analysis by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), thermal desorption mass spectrometry (TDMS) and ion bombardment (depth profiling) was used to investigate iron oxide films formed on iron by gas phase oxygen exposure as well as electrochemical polarization in borate buffer and corrosion inhibitor solutions.
