Реферат: theory of metal passivation

Further we shall define A₁ and A₂ . Proceeding from this it is possible to calculate the speed of cluster formation

With the help of this formula it is possible to define the laws of formation of the passive layer on the sector II (in pic.1).

Then taking in to account the energetic inhomogeneity of metal surface it is possible to find out the integrated current density

where y- bond energy.

To each pair value of corresponds the certain probability I( j , y _i ) of formation of twin cluster and the local degree of filling by them i^th platforms of the surface M. With the growth of potential j formation of cluster becomes more and more intensive. And accordingly grows the integrated degree of its filling by cluster,

Thus the processing of the first thin superficial layer of metal in oxide is finished. Take place complete passivation of the surface M, the sector II on the curve (fig. 1) is replaced by the sector III, for which the new physical conditions must be taken in account. And further researched may be done.
