Electro-chemo-mechanical properties of anodic oxide (passive) films formed on metals.

What is it about?

The results of the stress evolution for the growth of anodic oxide (passive) films on Cu, Ni and Fe are reviewed and the major parameters influencing the film stress are discussed from the electro-chemo-mechanical (ECM ) viewpoint.

Why is it important?

The passivity of metals is directly related to the stability of the anodic oxide (passive) films on metals which is controlled by their ECM properties. Therefore, the study on the ECM properties is very important for better-understanding of the passivity.
