Abstract
The electrochemical theory of high-temperature corrosion resistance developed by I. N. Frantsevich is briefly reviewed, and a comparative study is made of the electrochemical parameters of both the high-temperature oxidation of tungsten and its oxidation in 1 N H2SO4. Consideration is given to the principal results of experimental and theoretical studies of the limiting stages of hydrogen cathodic evolution on the surface of metals, semiconductors, and certain binary refractory compounds. Topics included are the catalytic recombination of hydrogen atoms, their electrochemical desorption, the interaction of hydrogen atoms with electrons as disclosed by calorimetric, cyclotron resonance, and EPR methods of investigation. Particular attention is paid to the corrosion of copper and silver coatings on copper parts used in sealed systems containing the decomposition products of polymeric insulation. Weak-current corrosion of contacts, and the electrochemical protection of steel structures in aggressive soils and sea water are also reviewed.
