Anodic polarization curves UNS N07718 (mill annealed) in 3.5% NaCl

This post illustrates three cyclic anodic polarization curves of the precipitation hardening nickel alloy (PHNA) UNS N07718 —mill annealed— in deaerated 3.5 wt% NaCl (pH 8.0). <br>

Cyclic potentiodynamic polarizations were conducted in accordance with ASTM G61. The potential scan rate was 0.6V/h. The direction of the scan was reversed at i = 10 mA⋅cm^-2, assuring a minimum charge density of 10 C⋅cm^-2.
