The effect of cathodic polarisation on stability of defined oxide films on Al and Al-Sn alloys (with up to 0.40% Sn) has been investigated in a 0.5 M NaCl solution using the potentiostatic pulse method. The dependence of the cathodic current on time (in the period of 1, 10 and 100 s) was recorded on Al and Al-Sn alloys when subjected to a potential pulse from E-OCP to different negative values (up to -2.0 V). Anodic current responses to the return to the E-OCP were also recorded at three different time scales (1, 10 and 100 s). It has been established that the cathodic polarisation of passivated Al and Al-Sn alloys in a chloride solution is characterized by two regions of potentials with distinctly different phenomena: the range of low and high cathodic potentials (LCP and HCP). In the LCP range, the oxide film retains its properties, while in the HCP range cathodic breakdown and hydration of the oxide take place. The boundary between these two potential ranges shifts towards more negative potential values when the percentage of Sn in the alloy increases. The longer the duration of the cathodic pulse, the more positive the potentials at which the oxide film breakdown takes place. This shift is more marked with alloys containing higher percentage of Sn. Cathodic polarisation (duration of 100 s) activates alloys with 0.20% and 0.40% Sn for anodic dissolution.
