Abstract
The distribution of corrosion pits on the surface of stainless steel samples treated in a 3% NaCl solution is studied. It is established that the distributions are thermodynamically optimized and can be described by the Gibbs expression for a canonical distribution of the thermodynamic probability of energy fluctuations. A wide occurrence of the pitting corrosion and the broad scatter of pits with respect to size are explained.
