Popis: Cyclic polarization measurements made on steel, iron oxalate-coated steel and polyaniline in a high pH solution and in the absence of chloride ions showed no tendency of the surface towards pitting corrosion. In all cases, the pitting potential was similar to the protection potential. Chlorides in the caustic solution caused significant pitting in the bare steel and slight pitting in the oxalate coated steel. The polyaniline coated-steel showed no pitting in the chloride-containing alkaline solution. Scratches through the polyaniline coating did not initiate pitting in the polyaniline coated steel surface when tested in the chloride-containing solutions.
