Abstract

The effect of sodium tartarate and calcium ions on the kinetic behaviour of the {110} plane of an aluminium single crystal in aqueous solution of NaOH was investigated in dependence on the concentrations of the substances added, and optimum concentrations for attaining the highest inhibiting effect were established. The effect of temperature and concentration of NaOH on the inhibiting efficiency was also examined. The mechanism of the inhibiting effect is discussed.
