Abstract
The passive films formed on Fe-19Cr-9Ni in solutions of 0.3 M NaCl (pH 5.4) and 0.3 M NaCl + 0.16 M Na2MoO4 (pH 9.0) have been characterized by variable angle XPS. Additional studies were conducted to determine the effect of the pH change on the passive film and which agent was responsible for the deprotonation found in the film produced in the molybdate solution. It is proposed that the MoO42 anions reinforce the action of CrO42- in enhancing the bipolarity of the film and thereby significantly increasing the deprotonation of the inner Cr(OH)3 region, forming a more protective Cr2O3 barrier layer.
