— Fig. 1 shows the time variation of resonant frequency, Δf, (or mass change, Δm) and corrosion potential, E corr, for iron thin film in phosphate solutions (total phosphorus concentration: c p =0.3 M) of different pHs. The time variation of Δf or Δm is almost linear, whereas E corr is almost kept constant. The mass loss of iron thin film …
