Abstract
The hysteresis effect in the anodic passivation of a series of stainless steels in acid solutions has been evaluated coulometrically from the polarization curves obtained by forward and reverse potential scanning.
Based on such effects, an index of passivity retention has been drawn differentiating the stainless grades and reflecting the surface preparation.
