Pit Propagation of Nickel Molybdenum Alloys

Pit development on nickel and nickel-molybdenum alloys in 0.1 M NaCl + 0.05 M Na2SO4 solution under potentiostatic conditions was studied.

When the molybdenum content of nickel-molybdenum alloys is above a threshold value, it has the effect of reduci%ng the current flowing from the surface.

Examination by scanning electron microscopy shows the presence of two distinct pit morphologies: terraced faceted pit surfaces resulting from crystallographic dissolution is observed on nickel.

While shallow pits with smooth surfaces are formed on Ni-5Mo because of the presence of a salt film at the pit bottom. The experimental results were analyzed according to a model for pit growth.

The results quantitatively correlate the conductivity of the pit electrolyte and the conductivity and thickness of the salt film with the dissolution df-metal within a pit.
