Abstract

The effect of nonstirred aqueous Portland cement solution on the corrosion rates of zinc and cadmium metal using Tafel extrapolation and linear polarization measurements has been investigated. Results indicate that for the corrosion systems under investigation, zinc metal has a higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion rate than cadmium metal.
