X80 steel exhibits two different steady states in 0.5molL-¹ NaHCO3+0.25molL-¹ Na2CO3 solution with and without precathodic polarisation, which are activation and passivation respectively. When the steel is immersed in the solution, self-passivation occurs. However, when the steel is precathodically polarised with -1.3 V(SCE), it suffers from active corrosion. To investigate the influence of AVs on the passivation and corrosion properties of the steel, two same working electrodes were connected to the two poles of the ac generator and different amplitudes of AVs with the same frequency were superimposed to the prepolarised and the non-prepolarised steels. Different amplitudes of alternating voltages were superimposed to the pre- and non-prepolarised steels. The results demonstrated that passivation of the non-prepolarised steel was enhanced by low amplitude alternating voltages but was destroyed by high amplitude alternating voltages. Moreover, the corrosion of the prepolarised steel was worsened with the application of alternating voltages.
