This volume of Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry is composed of eight chapters covering topics having relevance both in corrosion science and materials engineering. In particular, the first seven chapters provide comprehensive coverage of recent advances in corrosion science. INDICE: From the contents Structure, passivation and localized corrosion of metal surfaces.Nucleation and growth of passive films.Structure of 3D passive films on metals and alloys.Dissolution in the passive state.Nanostructure ofpassive film and passivity breakdown.Grain boundary model of passivity breakdown and pit initiation.- Anodic oxide films on aluminum – their significance for corrosion protection and micro- and nano-technologies.Applications of anodic oxide films.Structure and properties of oxide and hydroxide films.Changes infilm structure by combination of treatments.Role of anodic oxide films in corrosion protection of aluminum.Micro- and nano-technologies based on anodized aluminum.- Electrochemical, microscopic and surface analytical studies of amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys.Stability of the passive state of al-based amorphous alloys.Effect of hydrostatic extrusion leading to nano-structurization on the stability of the passive state of austenitic stainless steels.Catalyticactivity of cu-based amorphous alloys modified by cathodic hydrogen charging.- Advances in the study of electrochemical and corrosion phenomena in high subcritical and in supercritical aqueous solutions.Definition of the environment.Properties.Standardization of pH scale.Sensors.Corrosion studies.Polarization studies.
