The influence of rare earth Ce(III) ions on the corrosion behaviour of high strength maraging steel in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Ce 3+ can significantly reduce corrosion deterioration up to 5.0 mM. Beyond that level the corrosion rate increases till a steady value. High corrosion protection of steel surface after exposure to the acidic solution containing the optimal Ce(III) concentration is revealed by SEM investigations.
