Abstract
This paper summarizes the experimental and theoretical evidence showing that, in permanent immersion, the protectiveness of corrosion layers can only be due to diffusional transport phenomena in the liquid phase. This gives rise to the new concept of a “liquid surface state”. A consequence is that any imposed polarization can prove to be instantaneously destructive. It is therefore not possible to plot standard polarization curves, and they must be replaced by “pseudo-polarization” curves representing the trajectory of the free corrosion point in the Tafel reference coordinates.
