In situ and ex situ surface investigations of thiosulfate, sulfate and chloride accumulation on stainless steel and aluminum

In the United States alone it is estimated that annual corrosion-related damages cost approximately 100 billion dollars. Clearly, much effort is needed to reduce the detrimental efforts of corrosion. One approach to accomplishing this task is to understand fundamental corrosion mechanisms. Specifically, characterizing anionic accumulation on technologically-important substrates such as stainless steel and aluminum is of paramount importance, particularly in the development of effective corrosion inhibitors. This is largely attributed to the fact that anion interaction with passive films may promote either film degradation or corrosion inhibition.
