Abstract
The effect of Sn content on properties of anodic film formed on PbSn alloys in sulfuric acid solution was investigated using linear sweeping voltage (LSV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and a.c. voltammetry (ACV), based on the Mott-Schottky analysis. The results revealed that the addition of Sn into lead alloys can promote the corrosion resistance property and could decrease the impedance of anodic film; these results were more remarkable with enhancing the Sn content. The over potential of oxygen evolution on lead alloys enhanced with the increase of Sn content. The Mott-Schottky analysis indicated that the passive film appeared an n-type semiconductor, and the donor density of passive film increased with increasing Sn content. The increased vacancies in the passive film with Sn content increasing could illustrate this trend.
