Passive Films Formed on Fe- and Ni-Based Alloys in an Alkaline Medium: An Insight into Complementarities between Electrochemical Techniques and Near-Field Microscopies (AFM/SKPFM)

This study investigates the natural passivation process of two types of stainless steels (AISI 316 and AISI 304) and a nickel-based alloy (Inconel 600) as a function of immersion time in an alkaline medium. As shown by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), the oxide film growth on each substrate is only in...
