Abstract

The corrosion behavior of bulk ultra-fine grained (UFG) Fe-Ni-Cr alloy prepared by equal-channel angular pressing technique was investigated in 0.25 mol/L Na2SO4+0.05 mol/L H2SO4 solution by electrochemical measurements. As compared to the coarse grained (CG) counterpart, the UFG alloy exhibits an acceleration of the active dissolution and a shrunk passive region with a higher passive current. The Mott-Schottky analysis in conjunction with the point defect model indicates that the donor diffusion coefficient in the passive films of the UFG sample increases greatly to one magnitude order higher and the donor density is slightly lower than that of the CG sample.
