Abstract The anodic polarization behaviour and the initiation and propagation processes of pitting corrosion of TUP copper have been studied by electro- chemical method and surface analysis technique in mixed solution of low Cl~- and SO_4~(2-) but high HCO_3~- concentrations.Copper shows typical pitting characteristics in this mixed solution.The initiation of pitting corrosion of copper is due to Cl~- ions entering surface film and migrating to metal/ film interface,resulting in local breakdown of film.The main process of pitting propagation of copper is the formation and hydrolysis of CuCl, resulting in low pH value and Cl~- enrichment with autocatalytic effect in pitting process.
