Are the mechanisms of pitting species-specific?

02 February 2014 1 3K Report

In other words; Is the mechanism of carbon steel pitting in chloride solutions different from that in bicarbonate solutions?

Dr. Chaitanya Kumar Kanukula

Yes. the mechanism of corrosion of carbon steel varies in different environments....In bicarbonate or carbonate medium, the major corrsion product is Fe6(OH)12CO3.
