Abstract
The presence of a magnetic induction field with a flux density of 0·4 T caused the anodic active-passive transition potential of iron in neutral aqueous solutions of sodium sulphate to move in the noble direction and resulted in a reduction of the passive potential range. Anodic current densities at the active-passive transition potential and in the passive potential range increased in the presence of the magnetic field. There was a synergistic effect between the magnetic field and the presence of chloride in solution on the breakdown of iron passivity.
