MECHANIZM OF ANODE DISSOLVING OF CORROSION-RESISTING AND STRUCTURAL CARBON STEELS UNDER ELECTROPULSE POLISHING

Abstract

In this article were suggested the schemes of anode processes, taking into account the nature of metals, anion structure, pH solution of electrolyte and anode potential by electropulse polishing of corrosion- resisting and structural carbon steels.It is shown and experimentally confirmed, that under conditions of electropulse polishing of anode dissolving of metals, which are contained into corrosion-resisting and structural carbon steels, carried out according to mechanism of complex formation through a set of series and series-parallel of intermediate stages. In the 1st stage on the surface of metals adsorption complexes with participation of chemisorption molecules of water are formed. In the next stages anions of electrolyte’s solution and molecules of water take part. In final stage of dissolving on the surface of anode soluble compounds are formed, which by transition into solution into simple ions are dissociated. It is determined that by electrical-impulse polishing in dissolving of components of corrosion-resisting carbon steels the important role play chemical processes, and anode dissolving of metals take place in the field of mixed electrochemical and diffusion kinetics . Diffusion limitations appear as a result of difficult ion mass transfer through surface salt, oxide and hydro-oxide and absorption-phase coatings.
