The effect of chloride ion concentration on the anodic dissolution behavior of nickel has been investigated using the potentiostatic technique and metallographic observations. With increasing chloride ion concentration, the attack changes from pitting corrosion to general corrosion. It has been shown that electrochemical data must be supplemented by metallographic observations for a complete appreciation of the pitting phenomenon.
