Studies of protective layers on aluminum and aluminum-tantalum alloy /

Mechanism of passivation and breakdown of passive layers on Al and Al-Ta alloys has been examined in pH 8.4, 11 and 12. The methods used include a study of the H/T separation factor; radiotracer examination of Cl- and SO4[^2-] adsorption and absorption; XPS depth analysis; both negative and positive...
