Interaction effect between Cr(OH)3 passive layer formation and inhibitor adsorption on 3Cr steel surface
Abstract
Passive layer formation and inhibitor adsorption on the 3Cr steel surface in the absence of an interface inhibitor, i.e. benzamide, has been investigated. Above a threshold of roughly 600 mM, benzamide rapidly adsorbed onto the substrate surface and significantly inhibited the formation of the passive layer.
