The following is a discussion of the article entitled ‘Surface Composition of Stainless Steel During Propagation of Crevice Corrosion” by S. Zakipour and C. Leygraf, Published in Corrosion, Vol. 37, p. 21 (1981) January.
DISCUSSION by G. Wranglén, Royal Institute of Technology, Dept. of Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Science, Stockholm, Sweden.
The authors’ interpretations of their own experimental data would seem inadequate or incomplete on the following points:
REPLY by S. Zakipour, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden and C. Leygraf, Swedish Corrosion Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
We should like to respond by referring to the number of each comment made by G. Wranglén.
(1,3,4):The reason for not presenting surface composition data as a function of product of time and corrosion current is the lack of reliable data for the total area suffering from crevice corrosion attack. If such data were available, the natural way of presenting surface accumulation data would...
