Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Localized Ultrasonically-Induced Cavitation Effects on Electrochemical Passivity (Corrosion, Mass Transfer, Depassivation)

Abstract

dc:description

Focused ultrasound was used to study electrochemical passivity, and the processes controlling the depassivation and repassivation phenomena were quantitatively analyzed. Experimental investigations were coupled with theoretical models to enable the prediction and evaluation of mass transfer rates and fluid pressures near the metal surface.
