A mass and charge balance (MCB) model that can simulate oxide growth and dissolution kinetics simultaneously during corrosion of an alloy has been recently developed. In this study, the MCB model was applied to the corrosion of the Co-Cr alloy Stellite-6. The construction of the model and the assignment of values to the rate parameters for the model are presented. The model simulation results are then compared with experimental corrosion data collected as a function of pH, temperature and polarization potential. The data include the current during potentiostatic polarization, the corrosion potential under open-circuit conditions, and post-test analyses of the oxide formed and the amount of metal dissolved. Excellent agreement between the model results and experimental data are found. This is evidence that the MCB model is a useful tool for predicting time-dependent corrosion while an oxide film is evolving. (C) The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.
