Abstract — The corrosion-electrochemical behavior of Mn5Si3 and MnSi silicides in the sulfuric acid electrolyte is studied by using the steady-state and cyclic voltammetry in combination with atomic absorption analysis. The following main regularities of the anodic dissolution of silicides are revealed: Mn dissolves selectively from the sublattice in silicide and, then, the process is controlled by diffusion of Mn in the compound and oxidized Mn through a layer of hydrated SiO2 oxide formed at the surface.
