Ya. Popov, ON THE THEORY OF PASSIVITY OF METALS WITH CATIONIC CONDUCTIVITY IN THE PASSIVING LAYER - CONSIDERATION OF THE STRONG ELECTRIC-FIELD, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 30(4), 1994, pp. 427-429
The mechanism of anodic dissolution of the passivated metal has been c
onsidered. Ionic fluxes through the passivating oxide with regard to t
he strong electric field reaching 10(7) V/cm have been calculated. The
defectiveness and thickness of the oxide layer as a function of the a
nodic potential have been found. The potential of repassivation and it
s dependence on various parameters have been determined.
