A review is presented of the history of the Point Defect Model (PDM) for the growth and
breakdown of passive films that form on the surfaces of reactive metals in contact with …

The outstanding corrosion resistance of stainless steels results from the presence of a thin
oxide—'passive'—film on the metal surface, typically 1–3 nm thick. The characterisation of …

Abstract A Point Defect Model has been developed to describe theoretically the corrosion of
metals and alloys in supercritical aqueous systems. The model, SCW_PDM, accounts for the …

Many attempts in the past have been made to introduce the reversed austenite phase into
Super 13Cr martensitic stainless steel, in order to enhance its mechanical performance, but …

Electrochemical measurements based on the point defect model and ab initio calculations
were employed to investigate the properties of passive films formed on copper in anaerobic …

By potentiostatic polarisation for different time, passive films were formed on AISI 316SS.
Characteristics of these films were studied using electrochemical measurement and surface …

The initiation, propagation, repassivation of metastable pits of Q345 carbon steel in Cl−
containing concrete pore solution were studied by electrochemical noise. The initiation rate …

The passive and pitting behaviors of 17–4 PH martensitic stainless steel containing Al 2 O 3
inclusions in chlorine environment were investigated. The electrochemical behavior was …

A potentiostatic polarization method is used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of SS316L in
simulated anode and cathode environments of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. A passive …
