Abstract
IT was recently suggested by Mayne, Menter and Pryor1 that dissolved oxygen is primarily responsible for the ability of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide solution to inhibit the corrosion of iron, by virtue of a heterogeneous reaction with surface iron atoms to form a thin film of γ-Fe2O3. The present investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of dissolved oxygen on the corrosion-rate of iron totally immersed in solutions of sodium phosphate at different pH values.
