Organic acid complexation influence on stannous ions electrochemical behaviour

R. Souchet, F. Dalard, J.J. Rameau, M. Reboul

Introduction The competitive complexation of Sn(II) hydroxycomplexes and Sn(II) complexes with organic acids present in fruit juices, has been studied, in a first stage, by the…

Metastability and corrosion in mine wires

D. Mukherjee

Mine rope‐wire profile is prone to stress concentration zones by virtue of its manufacturing style and reveals a metastable surface. Metastability, being a non‐equilibrium state…
