Abstract
The potentiodynamic behavior of carbon steel in 1. 0 M, 2. 5 M and 5. 0 M NaOH at 20 plus or minus 2 degree C is reported. The peak potentials and curents were found to vary linearly with the square root of the potential sweep-rate. It is shown that the ″pore resistance″ model cannot account quantitativly for the cyclic voltammetric behavior of iron in sodium hydroxide solution. However, the sweep-rate dependencies of i//p and E//p suggest that the growth of the film on the surface occurs via an essentially resistive mechanism, which possibly involves the low field migration of ions through an oxide/hydroxide lattice.
