Which of the following metals/alloys passivates spontaneously in acid solutions containing oxidizers or dissolved oxygen?(a) Copper(b) Titanium(c) Stainless steels and titanium(d) NickelI had been asked this question in exam.The origin of the question is Modern Theory Principles in chapter Modern Theory Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (b) Titanium

Best EXPLANATION: Stainless steels and titanium passivates spontaneously in acid solutions containing OXIDIZERS or dissolved OXYGEN. A decrease in passive potential and critical current DENSITY is the driving FORCE for the spontaneous passivation.
