The anodic corrosion of Pb-0.10 wt.% Ca-0.88 wt.% Sn ahoy and Pb-0.10 wt.%
Ca-0.88 wt.% Sn-0.048 wt.% Ce alloy in 4.5 M H2SO4 at 20 degreesC was studi
ed using cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, ac voltammetry, chro
noamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results s
how that the cerium added to Pb-Ca-Sn alloy inhibits the growth of the anod
ic corrosion layer and reduces the resistivity of the anodic Pb(II) film. (
