Anodic polarization behavior of ternary alloy Pb-0.08%Ca-1%Sn is studied by potentiodynamic polarization measurements, corrosion rate, the products on electrode surface after polarization, and microstructure of anode mud after polarization in electrowinning cell. The results show that Pb-Ca-Sn anode is easy to be passivated in electrolyte for copper electrowinning, the maintaining passivity current density is 97.72 mu A.cm(-2) and the corrosion products on the surface of Pb-Ca-Sn electrode present loose scaly, being composed of alpha-PbO2, beta- PbO2 and PbSO4 after polarization.
