Abstract
Corrosion products in marine iron have been identified as iron oxyhydroxides and oxides. The principal species is akaganeite. Tannic acid used to treat iron without further acidification permits the formation of a two phase film. Acidification to pH 2.O leaves single phase films with no trace of corrosion products
