The chemical composition and semi-conductive properties of passive film on nickel-based alloy (G3 alloy) in bicarbonate/carbonate buffer solution were investigated by Auger spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and Mott-Schottky plot. AES and XPS results showed that the passive film appeared double-layer, in which the inner film was composed of nickel oxide, the mixed nickel-chromium-molybdenum-manganese oxides were the major component of the outer film. The electrochemical results revealed that the factors including frequency, potential, time, temperature and pH value can affect the semi-conductive property, the doping densities decreased with increasing potential and pH value, prolonging time, and decreasing temperature. According to the above results, it can be concluded that the film protection on the substrate enhanced with increasing potential and pH value, prolonging time, and decreasing temperature.
