Abstract
Anisotropic corrosion behaviour of a single grain of pure iron in 0.05 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid (pH 1) was investigated by a simple polarization technique. Both corrosion potential and corrosion current were found to be dependent on crystallographic orientation of the iron grain. A high corrosion current flowed on a grain showing a relatively noble corrosion potential, although both cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes were independent of the orientation. It was shown that cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) governed the corrosion reaction on the iron grain. Covalent bonding of Fe and H and coverage of H on Fe seem to play important roles in the HER and anisotropic corrosion behaviour of pure iron.
