The corrosion behaviour of pure tin in an aqueous solution simultaneously containing Cl- and SO₄^2- ions has been studied using electrochemical techniques, optical and scanning electron microscopy. Measurements were conducted under different chloride and sulphate ions concentrations. The potentiodynamic polarisation curves showed that the pitting potential, Epit, is independent from the variation of pH, temperature and chloride and sulphate concentration of the solution. In its turn, an increase of these parameters stimulates shifting of corrosion potential to more active values and leads to an increase of the corrosion and passive current densities. The electrochemical features were strongly supported by optical and scanning electron micrographs of the corroded surfaces of the pure tin samples after potentiodynamic polarisation experiments and immersion tests.

Palabras clave : corrosion; tin; passivation; chloride; sulphate; potentiodynamic polarisation curves.
