Questions and Answers

What is the result of direct combination between the metal and the environment in chemical passivity?

  • No change in the corrosion rate
  • Increase in the rate of corrosion
  • Formation of insoluble compound (passive film) on the metal surface (correct)
  • Formation of soluble compound on the metal surface
  • Which metal is protected from further corrosion by the presence of a very thin and transparent Al2O3 layer on its surface?

  • Nickel (Ni)
  • Aluminum (Al) (correct)
  • Chromium (Cr)
  • Iron (Fe)
  • What defines passivity in the case of active anodes such as Fe, Ni, Cr, and Ti?

  • Passivity below Epass
  • Increase in corrosion rate above Epass
  • Formation of thick protective oxide layer
  • Corrosion resistance above a critical anodic passive potential Epass (correct)
