Abstract
The anodic dissolution rate of some stainless steels, nickel and nickel alloys has been studied by anodic polarization curves in 5N solutions of formic, acetic, lactic and citric acids. The anodic behaviour has been evaluated by the shape of the anodic polarization curves, by the determination of the critical anodic current density, the primary passivation potential and the passive current density. In all cases, the formic acid solutions are the most aggressive for the anodic dissolution process of the materials quoted. A series of spectrophotometric and coulometric measurements has been carried out for the interpretation of the action mechanism of this acid.
