Abstract
A passive film was formed on electroless Ni-P coating (ENPC) in a bath of K 2 Cr 2 O 7 30 g/l. XPS and electrochemical methods were employed to analyze its chemical compositions and corrosion behaviors. The potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated the corrosion current of the passivated sample was 1/30 that of as-plated ENPC. The XPS analysis illustrated the film comprised Cr, Ni and O. The film thickness was evaluated to be a few nanometers according to the sputtering rate of Ar + ion. High-resolution XPS spectra suggested that the detected Cr in film was in the form of trivalent compounds, Cr 2 O 3 and Cr(OH) 3 .
