Abstract

The effect of grain size on the corrosion behaviour of nickel in 2N sulphuric acid is evaluated by potentiodynamic testing and characterization of the corrosion morphology for grain sizes ranging from 100μ to 32nm. The influence of the grain boundary component on key electrochemical parameters (free corrosion potential, passivation current density and potential, transpassive dissolution rate) is discussed.
