Abstract

The present study was undertaken to define more clearly the electrochemical behavior of iron and carbon steel in lithium hydroxide solution at 22 and 200 C. The electrochemical techniques used include cyclic voltammetry, which is a convenient method of ″mapping″ the general behavior of solid electrodes, and the more conventional potentiostatic and galvanostatic methods for studying active to passive transitions. The electrochemical studies were supplemented by detailed examination of the oxide films formed on iron and carbon steel surfaces using scanning electron microscopy.
