Preferred Label : passivation;
Detailed label : passivation in electrochemical corrosion;
IUPAC definition : The process of transition from the active to the passive state by formation of the
passivating film. Passivation is achieved by an anodic current which at the respective
electrode potential must be larger than the maximum current, or by the presence of
an oxidized substance in the neighbouring solution which passivates by being reduced
(passivator).;
