Electrochemical Kinetics of Corrosion and Passivity
1 Electrochemical Kinetics of Corrosion and Passivity The basis of a rate expression for an electrochemical process is Faraday''s law: nF Ita m = Where m is the mass reacted, I is the measured current in ampere, t is the time, a is the atomic weight, n the number of electrons transferred and F is the Faraday constant (96500 Cmol1).
