Abstract

This research is a preliminary study of which purpose is to find some information about corrosion behavior of brass casted product in nitric acid. The corrosion rate test was conducted by polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). This study was run with the variation of nitric acid of 0,5; 1; 1,5; 2 M. Optical Microscope (OM) were used to explain and to confirm polarization and EIS result. A mechanism for the reactions taking place at the electrode/electrolyte interface was explained.
