Abstract
Results are reported for the potentiodynamic polarization at 600 mV/hr of Fe, Ni, Cr, and seven Fe-Ni-Cr alloys in concentrated NaOH solutions in the temperature range 25 degree C to the boiling point. Iron and nickel, as well as the Fe-Ni-Cr alloys, showed an active-passive transition which correlates very well with the predictions of the Pourbaix diagram both with respect to M/HMO//2** minus dissolution and oxide formations. The corrosion rates increased with an increase in the temperature and NaOH concentration. In the sodium hydroxide environment nickel is the most corrosion resistant and desirable component in the Fe-Ni-Cr alloys, whereas Cr is generally deleterious.
