Abstract

The dissolution of copper in 1M chloride solution was studied by steady‐state (current‐voltage curves for various disk rotation rates) and transient [frequency analysis of the electrochemical and electrohydrodynamical (EHD) impedance] measurements. The anodic polarization curves have presented one region of mixed kinetic and another of mass‐transport control characterized by a current plateau. The limiting current is a function throughout the whole range of rotation rates. From the EHD impedance diagrams observed below the anodic plateau, it was shown that the limitation by mass transport is due to . On the current plateau, the presence of two time constants on the EHD impedance diagram and the reductibility of the curves have been attributed to the existence of a salt layer covering the surface, the rate of formation of this layer being identical to the rate of dissolution. A layer model has been developed.
