Certain inhibitors act on the corrosion anodes (chromates), others on the cathodes (zinc salts) and others on the anodes and/or cathodes, depending on how they are used (phosphates). Their action consists of changing either the potential or the polarization curves of the electrodes. 1, record 2, English, - polarization%20curve
