11 Nov 2009, 8:31 PM  | Passivating metals :3 You can hide this advertisement by registering. Hi ^^so i'm wondering, cause it was never really explained properly to me, why does a passivating metal produce it's little oxide shield against complete corrosion :s I'm a little confused, (also important cause i just found its a syllabus point xD)

Today, 6:40 PM | Re: Passivating metals :3 Metals that form a passivating layer such as zinc and aluminium do not experience complete corrosion since this oxide layer is non-porous. Metals such as iron and sodium would experience complete corrosion since the oxide layer formed is porous and hence the metal is still prone to further corrsion.
