Preferred Label : passive state;
Detailed label : passive state in electrochemical corrosion;
IUPAC definition : The passive state is characterized by a contiguous 'passivating film' of solid corrosion
products separating the metallic phase from the adjacent electrolyte. Corrosion in
the passive state involves growth of the passivating film and/or transfer of metal
ions through the film into the electrolyte.;
