Polarization was measured in dilute sulfuric acid and chromic acid for lead anodes with less than 10 wt. percent tin or antimony. Alloying with antimony decreased passive current, increased range of passivity, and lowered critical potential for passive film formation in sulfuric acid. Brightening current decreased in CrO/sub 3/ solution. On the other hand, alloying with tin did not improve corrosion resistance of the lead anode. (RWR)
