Abstract

The effects of chloride and thiosulfate ions on localized corrosion of alloy 800 are investigated through dynamical observation of the change in phase image of the diffusion layer during passive film breakdown using digital holography. The results indicate that solution chemistry has a significant effect on film breakdown and diffusion layer. The phase distribution changes at different applied potentials show that in the process of film breakdown, dissolution of metal ions from pitting is not remarkable in chloride-only solution, whereas dissolution of metal ions is significantly high in thiosulfate and chloride solution. Thiosulfate has a combined effect with chloride ions in passive film degradation.
