Abstract

Oxide layers are produced on iron surface, under discharge in water ambient, applying both anodic and cathodic potentials to iron foil. Non-stoichiometric Fe1−xO containing different ratios of Fe3+ and Fe2+ has been detected by using CEMS. Corrosion of these samples in 0.5 M H2SO4 shows that, cathodically discharge treated iron foil has higher corrosion resistance as compared to the anodically treated sample. This is attributed to the microstructural differences in the Fe1−xOx films formed during the discharge.
