Abstract
Pure lead was anodized at various constant potentials in sulfuric acid solutions. At potentials below those for formation, a layer of tetragonal is formed near the lead. is formed as an outer layer. The rate of corrosion of Pb was found to increase with increasing temperature and decreasing acid concentration and is given by the equation: . At constant time, weight loss is related to potential by the equation: log . At higher potentials a protective film, presumably , is formed.
