Preferred Label : passivation potential;
Detailed label : passivation potential in electrochemical corrosion;
IUPAC definition : The most negative electrode potential at which the passivating film is formed. The
passivation potential is equal to or more positive than the equilibrium potential
of formation of the phase constituting the film. Usually, the corrosion current goes
through a maximum at the passivation potential.;
