Popis: In order to investigate the corrosion behavior of SUS 304L steel in alkaline solutions, linear sweep voltammogram measurements were performed in NaOH solutions at pH 12 and 13 at 333 K. Constant potential electrolysis was carried out in an NaOH solution at 333 K at pH 13 from 5 to 20 hours. The surface analysis of the samples before and after the constant potential electrolysis was performed by atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. The XPS measurements of the samples before the electrolysis showed that Fe and Cr oxide films were formed on the SUS 304L stainless steel surface, and the presence of FeOOH, CrOOH and Ni(OH)2 on the surface was confirmed after the electrolysis. It is suggested that the dissolved metal ions from the SUS 304L surface reacted with OH− and formed a precipitated film on the surface in the alkaline environment.
