Summary
-
1
1. Methods proposed by Harrel, Clerc, and Zhuk for the calculation of protective potentials were examined. It was shown that these methods are useless for the calculation of protective potentials.
-
2.
A new method for calculating protective potentials is described. It is based on.an exponential relationship between the rate of the anodic process of dissolution of metal and the potential.
-
3.
The proposed method of calculating protective potentials of metals was verified for copper, zinc, cadmium, magnesium, lead, iron, and cast iron in 1.5% sodium chloride solution and for iron in artificial lake water. Close agreement between calculated and experimentally determined protective potentials was found.
