Abstract
In recent years, the experimental investigation of liquid-metal interactions by electrochemical techniques and the techniques of surface physics has been widely developed in corrosion studies. In this review the results obtained in the author's laboratory by such an approach are summarised. They mainly comprise work on the effects of sulphur on the dissolution and passivation of pure metals and alloys, and have greatly benefited from radiochemical sulphur titration and from the use of well defined single crystals. The results clearly show that understanding of the corrosion processes requires the electrochemical interface to be investigated on the atomic scale.
