Abstract :
A mathematical model for the behavior of passive iron in concentrated nitric acid, based on the electrochemical mechanism, is proposed. The model is capable of explaining several phenomena including threshold for activation, monostable property, periodic activation, propagation of activation and threshold for propagation. Furthermore, the mathematical model shows that the electrochemical active line has a specific propagated waveform and velocity of propagation.
