Chromate free corrosion inhibitors are searched for to mitigate the economic loss caused by mid-steel corrosion. Here, we show metal-free organic inhibitors having free coumarate anions that can be used either as direct corrosion inhibitors or incorporated into a polymer coating obtained by UV-curing. Four different ionic liquid monomers and polymer coatings with hexoxycoumarate anion and different polymerizable counter cations were investigated. Potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and surface analyses have verified their corrosion inhibition performance on a mild steel AS1020 surface. In the case of the coumarate ionic liquid monomers, the most promising inhibitor is the one coupled with the ammonium cation, showing an inhibition efficiency of 99.1% in solution followed by the imidazolium, pyridinium, and anilinium. Next, the ionic liquid monomers were covalently integrated into an acrylic polymer coating by UV-photopolymerization. In this case, the barrier effect of the polymer coating is combined with the corrosion inhibitor effect of the pendant coumarate anion. Here, the best polymer coatings are those containing 20% imidazolium and pyridinium cations, presenting a greater impedance in the EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) measurements and less evidence of corrosion in the scribe tests. This article shows that the cationic moiety of coumarate based ionic liquids and poly(ionic liquid)s has a significant effect on their excellent corrosion inhibition properties for a mild steel surface exposed to aqueous chloride solutions.

Extract ofFicus exasperataleaves was investigated as corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 N H2SO4using conventional weight loss, electrochemical polarizations, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopic studies. The weight loss results showed that the extract ofFicus exasperatais excellent corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical polarizations data revealed the mixed mode of inhibition. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, with the change in concentration of the extract is due to the adsorption of active molecules leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. Scanning electron microscopic studies provided the confirmatory evidence of improved surface condition, due to the adsorption, for the corrosion protection.

Multilayer Coatings

Cu/Zn/Cu multilayer coatings were prepared on mild steel substrates by dual bath technique in order to improve the corrosion resistance of mild steel in seawater. The microstructures of the coated substrates and its resistance to corrosion in simulated seawater were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the brine immersion test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Salt water immersion test results show that the Cu/Zn/Cu multilayer coatings exhibited the highest corrosion resistance. The red rust spot appeared on the coating surface for the first time when the time of the coating soaked in salt water reached 2520h. The trend of the impedance variation reflected by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was the same as the change tendency of corrosion resistance was analyzed by the salt water immersion test. The results of SEM showed that the layer of copper were deposited by round cell structure, the middle layer of zinc coating was flat and compact.

Inhibition Effect

The experiments were done to find some good corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 5% HF solution by the method of weight loss and electrochemistry including polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results show that the thiourea, potassium thiocyanate, and hexamethylenetetramine have good inhibition effect for mild steel in 5% HF solution, especially potassium thiocyanate and thiourea. Their corrosion resistance was greatly enhanced in the presence of tested inhibitor. Thiourea is an anodic type inhibitor and its inhibition efficiencies up to 99.88% can be obtained. Equivalent circuit of the investigated system was suggested.

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric, sulfuric, and phosphoric acids solutions containing a mineral compound-based phosphate (apatite) was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Potentio-dynamic polarization measurements reveal that the inhibition efficiency increased with the concentration of the apatite, which appears to be a cathodic type inhibitor in the three mediums. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms this result; indeed, the transfer resistance increases with apatite concentration. The authors note that the double layer capacitance decreases simultaneously suggesting the formation of an adsorbed layer on the mild steel surface. The inhibition mechanism has been elucidated by a thermodynamic study, which showed that the film was formed by physi-sorption. The adsorption model obeys to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The parameters of activation energy were evaluated and discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to study the inhibition effect of 2-pyridinealdazine on the corrosion of mild steel in an acidic medium. The inhibition effect was studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel polarization measurements. Design/methodology/approach Weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and spectral and conformational isomers analysis of A (E-PAA) and B (Z-PAA) were performed were investigated. Findings 2-pyridinealdazine (PAA) acts as a good inhibitor for the corrosion of steel in 2.0 M H3PO4. The inhibition efficiency increases with an increase in inhibitor concentration but decreases with an increase in temperature. Originality/value This paper is intended to be added to the family of azines which are highly efficient inhibitors and can be used in the area of corrosion prevention and control.
