• Description:
  A mechanism is proposed for the process of corrosion pit nucleation in the marine environment. Rupture of the passive film is described in terms of its sensitivity to attack by negatively hydrated ions. A corollary is suggested which describes the inhibiting effect of various positively hydrated ions. The role of marine microorganisms is discussed as it relates to those environmental modifications that may contribute to pit nucleation.
