Applying the MIT phenomenon of W03 in normal operation results in an electrode reaction while maintaing the H-W03 (Conductor) state with the insertion of a proton (left). In contrast, when ignition is shut-down, mixed air is drawn in which increases the oxygen pressure and changes it into W03 (subconductor) which stops the electrode reaction, thus solvoing the issue of cathodic corrosion (right).
