Popis: The semi-conductive properties of passive films formed on Cu-Ni alloy and Cu-Ni-La alloy were investigated in 0.1 M NaOH solution, by employing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Mott–Schottky analysis and point defect model (PDM). Results indicate that both the passive films formed on Cu-Ni alloy and Cu-Ni-La alloy display p-type semi-conductive characteristics with cation vacancies in order of magnitude of 1020 cm3. Compared with Cu-Ni alloy, La addition could significantly improve the corrosion resistance, due to a superior barrier passive film formed Cu-Ni-La alloy with a bigger film resistance (R f), increased passive film thickness (L ss) in conjunction with decreased diffusion coefficient (D 0).
