In order to investigate on cathodic protection of steel and stainless steel used for holding sulfuric acid, examination was conducted to check the behavior of pure lead, lead alloys and high-silicon iron in sulfuric acid solution. The experiments were done by measuring the anode potential and analysis of surface film by oxalatimetry.
The results obtained are as follows:
1) The growth rate of passive film on Pb, Pb-As, etc. follows parabolic law.
2) Those on Pb-Te, Pb-Ag, etc. follow the logarithmic law.
3) The amount of lead peroxide on Pb-Sn and Pb-Cd electrodes decrease in proportion to the lapse of time.
4) Allowable current density for Pb-Ag anode is considered to be approx. 10A/dm².
5) High-silicon iron may be used at the current density of 4A/dm², while its weight loss caused by corrosion reaches 0.05g/A·hr and is far larger than those of lead alloys examined.
