Passive film properties of nickel-base-alloys (NBAs) have been studied extensively, yet elemental resolved dissolution currents under corrosive conditions are less well studied. Here, we compare elemental dissolution currents during anodic polarization and repassivation under crevice and freely-exposed conditions for various NBAs using an ICP-MS flow-cell approach. With a new sample design we can track communication of a crevice environment with the electrolyte, providing insight into crevice solution chemistry and solubility of passive film-forming elements. Data indicates Mo can only form stable precipitate layers under openly corroding conditions. Local elemental depletion was further examined by XPS and nanometer resolved XRF.
