Electrochemical corrosion of unalloyed copper in chloride media––a critical review

The electrochemical behaviour of a Cu rotating disc electrode in neutral aerated NaCl solution was investigated in the cathodic and anodic ranges and at the corrosion potential In the cathodic range, where the reduction of oxygen takes place, reduction peaks allow the identification and quantitative evaluation of insoluble corrosion products (CuCl and Cu2O) In the anodic range Cu is dissolved, most likely as CuCl

  A new mechanism for the anodic dissolution is proposed after comparing our data with previously published mechanisms Corrosion currents were found to decrease with time and to be a function of the rotation rate of the electrode Both the mixed kinetics of the anodic partial reaction and diffusion through a porous layer seem to be relevant in controllingl
