Abstract
The effect of tin in the depassivation of lead-calcium alloys under co nditions of deep discharge (0.7 V versus Hg/Hg2SO4 in 0.5 M H2SO4) is investigated by measurements of the polarization resistance, the oxida tion rate of ferrous ions added to the electrolyte, the potential deca y with/without applied cathodic current, and surface analysis and visu al inspection. The results may help to choose the optimal level of tin in the alloys. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
