304L SS in 1 M and 8 M HNO 3 .<br />

The polarization parameters evaluated for uncoated, and Ti-TiO 2 coated 304L SS are<br />

shown in Table. 6.6. The improvement in transpassive potential with respect to titanium coating is<br />

170 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 1 M nitric acid, and 68 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), in 8 M nitric acid,<br />

respectively. Similarly as compared to TiO 2 coating, the improvement in transpassive potential<br />

was 66 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 1 M nitric acid, and 44 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 8 M nitric acid,<br />

respectively. From the improvement in transpassive potential it is clear that, duplex coating
