Abstract
The influence of a steady-state magnetic field on the motion character of electrolyte in the vicinity of a thin steel wire is investigated. The wire axis is parallel to an external magnetic field. The dependence of the chemical reaction rate between the steel and a solution of nitric acid on the steady-state magnetic field is also studied. The time dependence of the diameter of the wire immersed in nitric acid is presented at different values of the external magnetic field. A set of oppositely directed electrolyte votrical flows is revealed in the vicinity of the steel wire in the external magnetic field. Figs 3, Refs 18.
