Abstract
This article deals with anodic dissolution and passivation of metals in relation to anodic inhibition of metallic corrosion. It is stressed that an adsorption of electrolyte ions on the metal surface plays vital roles in the anodic dissolution and passivation of metals. In particular, it is pointed out that the acid-base nature of metal’s surface or metal ions and ligands, is one of the important factors which controls the chemical stability of adsorption intermediates and metal-hydrated complex ions in solution. Furthermore, the roles of passivators in corrosion inhibition are discussed from the viewpoint of not only adsorption but also the ion-selectivity of corrosion precipitate films.
