The structure and composition of the passive films formed on 304 stainless steel in deaerated IN H2SO4 were studied by RHEED, XPS and AES. The stability of the passive films as a function of passivation potential and passivation time were investigated. The role of bound water in affecting the stability of the passive films is discussed.
