Description

The effect of mechanic and electrochemical methods of finishing the surface of the 18-10 stainless steel (polishing, electropolishing) and its oxidation in air at room temperature on the authenticity and reproducibility of anode polarization curves is investigated. It is established that the behaviour of anode potentiodynamic polarization curves, both in active and passive range of potentials, depends on microgeometry and on the oxidation degree of initial electrode surface as well. An optimal method of preparing surfaces of the 18-10 steel for polarization measurements is suggested
