Zusammenfassung:The effect of the presence of dissolved ferrous ion (Fe2+(aq)) on surface oxide film growth and conversion on carbon steel in pH 8.4 borate solutions was studied as a function of potential. The results of electrochemical measurements and surface analyses provide a consistent picture of oxide growth and conversion behaviour and the role of Fe2+(aq) on the oxidation. At potentials−0.4VSCE the presence of Fe2+(aq) at 0.1mM can substantially increase the rate of formation of γ-FeOOH on the carbon steel surface via oxidation of Fe2+(aq).
