The reactions occurring during the anodic polarization of tinplate passivated cathodically in a dichromate solution (CDC tinplate) were ascertained by applying Faraday's law to analyses of the oxidation products generated. It was found that a large portion of the CDC passivation film consists of chromium in the metallic state.
