The Mechanism of Transpassive Dissolution of AISI 321 Stainless Steel in Sulphuric Acid Solution
The transpassive dissolution mechanism of AISI 321 stainless steel in a 0.5 M sulphate solution was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). On the basis of the experimental results, surface charge approach, and point defect model, a kinetic model of the transpassive dissolution p...

description | The transpassive dissolution mechanism of AISI 321 stainless steel in a 0.5 M sulphate solution was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). On the basis of the experimental results, surface charge approach, and point defect model, a kinetic model of the transpassive dissolution process is proposed. The transpassive film is modeled as a highly doped n-type semiconductor—insulator-p-type semiconductor structure. Injection of negative defects at the transpassive film/solution interface results in their accumulation as a negative surface charge. It alters the nonstationary transpassive film growth rate controlled by the transport of positive defects (oxygen vacancies). The model describes the process as dissolution of Cr as Cr (VI) and Fe as Fe (III) through the transpassive film via parallel reaction paths. |
