During potentiodynamic polarization of the Fe-6 mass% Cr specimen electrode (SE), the SE surface was monitored by ellipso-microscopy and generated Fe(II) and Cr(III) species from the SE were detected at two detector electrodes arranged downstream in parallel. Forced convection of the electrolyte solution affected the mass-transport process of Cr(III) species on the SE surface in the latter half of the active region. In addition, the electrolyte solution flow resulted in enhancement of the passivation process and Cr enrichment on the passive surface. The effects of the electrolyte solution flow on active-passive transition and improvement of the passive film resistance are discussed.The Electrochemical Society (ECS)2021-05-01engjournal articleNAhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/81746https://doi.org/10.1149/1945-7111/abfb960013-4651Journal of the electrochemical society168551503
