Abstract

AbstractThe corrosion behavior of copper, tin, and bronze CuSn14 is studied in simulated acid rain (pH 4.5) by electrochemical techniques, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The potentiodynamic formation of anodic oxide film on copper and tin is described in terms of high‐field model. Cyclic voltammetry shows that dissolution of bronze is higher than of pure copper metal in acid rain. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data reveal that oxide films formed on copper and tin have a higher resistance and suppressed diffusion process through the surface layer than the oxide film formed on bronze CuSn14 at the same conditions.
