A cathodic process, autocatalyzed by nitric acid, was observed when stainless steel was placed in nitric acid solutions. In a totally dissociated solution, nitric acid forms during nitrate and hydrogen ion interactions with corrosion products (Fe/sup 2+/ and Cr/sup 2+/). A cathodic hydrogen separation process in active steels was noticed in the region of strong negative potentials. (R.V.J.)
