Corrosion Science

Metals (Cu) semiconductors (Si) corrosion process analysis and develpoment of enviromental friendly corroison inhibitors.
Repassivation transients with the corresponding SEM micrographs presenting the impact craters obtained subsequent to impingement at different angles: (a) 90°, (b) 60°, (c) 45° and (d) 30°. All impingement studies were performed in a 10 g L−1 K-sorbate solution containing 1 g L−1 K2SO4 at a potential of 0.2 VAg/AgCl.
