Potential-time curves are constructed for the steel electrode in naturally aerated Ca(OH)(2) solutions simulating the corrosion behavior in concrete. Cl- and SO42- ions cause the destruction of passivity and initiation of pitting corrosion. The rate of oxide film growth by Ca(OH)(2) and oxide film destruction by Cl- and SO42- ions follows a direct logarithmic law as evident from the linear relationships between the open-circuit potential and the logarithm of immersion time. Chromate, phosphate, nitrite, tungstate and molybdate ions inhibit the pitting corrosion of steel. The rate of oxide film healing and thickening increases with their concentrations. In presence of constant inhibitor concentration, the efficiency of pitting inhibition increases in the order: (weak) CrO42- < HPO42- < NO2- < WO42- < MoO42- (strong). (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
