Q
Rate of corrion
A
Directly related to the current flowing between the anode and the cathod, i.
2
Q
Polarisation
A
A shift of potential away from a metals equilibrium potential
3
Q
Artificially shift metals potential in positive direction
A
- Rate of anodic metal dissolution (ia) increase
- Rate of cathodic metal replating (ic) decreases
4
Q
Artificially shift metals potential in negative direction
A
- Rate of anodic metal dissolution (ia) decreases
- Rate of cathodic metal replating (ic) increases
