Purpose Although stainless steel (SS) has good corrosion resistance in most aqueous solutions, it suffers corrosion in some solutions which contain aggressive ions such as sulfide ions. This study aims to use some cephalosporins (cefotaxime, cephapirin and cefazolin) as corrosion inhibitors of commercial SS in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing sulfide ions at 30°C. Design/methodology/approach The study was carried out using weight loss method, potential-time, linear polarization, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance measurements, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Findings The presence of the cephalosporin compound in the corrosive medium shifted the corrosion potential of SS to much positive side, which enhances self-passivation of SS, and the shifting increased with increasing inhibitor concentration. The cephalosporin compounds worked as effective inhibitors with mainly anodic and the efficiency increase as cefotaxime < cephapirin < cefazolin. The inhibitors form a protective adsorbed layer, which enriches the surface content of Ni and Cr and thus assists the SS to be passive. Originality/value The antibiotics cephalosporins could be used as effective corrosion inhibitors for SS in acidic solutions containing sulfide ions. The inhibitors enhances the the passive oxide film of SS even in presence of aggressive ions such as sulfide ions.

The inhibition effect of diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP) and Trisodium Citrate (TSC) on thecorrosion behavior of stainless steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was investigated by using weight loss method. The combinedcorrosion inhibition efficiency offered 200 ppm of DTPMP and 150 ppm of TSC was 95%. Polarization study showed thatthe inhibitors inhibit stainless steel corrosion through mixed mode and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)results confirm the adsorption of the inhibitors at stainless steel/acid interface. The adsorption of DTPMP and TSC ontothe stainless steel surface was found to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm modes. Negative values of (ΔGads) in theacid media ensured the spontaneity of the adsorption process. The nature of the protective film formed on the metalsurface has been analyzed by FTIR spectra, SEM and AFM analysis. The activation energy (Ea), free energy change(ΔGads), enthalpy change (ΔHads) and entropy change (ΔSads) were calculated to understand the corrosion inhibitionmechanism.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is investigate the inhibition efficiency of three similar bi-cyclic organic compounds, namely, benzimidazole (BI), benzotriazole (BTAH) and benzothiazole (BTH) on carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Organic inhibitors are widely used to protect metals in acidic media. Among abundant suggestions for acid corrosion inhibitors, azole compounds have gained attention. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency of the three organic compounds was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Findings – Superiorities of BTH and BTAH corrosion inhibitors were shown by EIS data and polarization curves. Moreover, the results revealed that BTAH and BTH can function as effective mixed-type adsorptive inhibitors, whereas no inhibition behavior was observed for BI. Both BTAH and BTH obeyed Longmuir adsorption isotherm. The results obtained from this isotherm showed that both inhibitors adsorbed on the specimen surface physically and chemically. The difference in inhibition efficiencies of BTAH, BTH and BI was related to the presence of nitrogen and sulfur hetero atoms on their molecular structures. Originality/value – This study evaluated inhibition efficiency of BI, BTAH and BTH using electrochemical methods. In addition, the study attempted to find inhibition mechanism of the inhibitors and to find modes of adsorption of the inhibitors, correlating effects of heteroatoms and inhibition efficiency.

Purpose This work aims to prepare and characterize of protective anticorrosion phosphate-doped polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite coatings for stainless steel (SS) in chloride solution. Design/methodology/approach PANI composite coatings were electrodeposited from aqueous sulfuric acid solution containing monomer and Al2O3 nanoparticles using cyclic voltammetry technique. Doping by phosphate was done by aging the coated steels for different periods (1–168 h) in phosphate solution. The polymer film composite was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Potential-time, anodic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the protection efficiency of the coatings. Findings The Al2O3 nanoparticles were incorporated into the deposited PANI layer but they decreased the deposition of polymer. The nanoparticles and the phosphate anions enhanced the protective PANI layer for passivation and protection of SS in the chloride solution. Originality/value The replacement of counter anions by phosphate ions improved significantly the PANI and its nanocomposite as protective coating of SS in chloride solution.

Brine corrosion can remain a large obstacle to the rehabilitation project of Missan Oilfields in Iraq. To minimizecorrosion risks, the 13-3/8′′ casing steel, N80,has been employed to examine corrosion behaviors in simulated formation water (i.e., brine). The impact factors of corrosion such as temperature, ion contents, exposure time, and pH have been studied. Also, corrosion inhibitors available in brine have been screened by a static weight loss method. The results showed that effects of environmental and operational variables on N80 corrosion are fairly complicated; the corrosion inhibitor, HN-amph, exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition in brine. This work will provide important information for on-site application.

Design/methodology/approach Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique was used. Findings The studies determined that under stagnant conditions, the durability and efficiency were maintained over 80 per cent for up to 500 h of immersion, while the residence time started to decrease after 150 h at the best inhibitor concentration (150 ppm). Practical implications This work may help to attenuate corrosion problems in the petroleum industry. Originality/value It is the first time that 1-(2-pyridiniy)-2-(o-, m-, p-hydroxyphenyl) benzimidazoles were evaluated as corrosion inhibitors.

The corrosion inhibition effect of N-(4-((4-Benzhydryl piperazin-1-yl) methyl Carbamoyl) Phenyl) Furan-2-Carboxamide (BFC) on brass in 1M HCl has been investigated using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The result reveals that BFC acts as a mixed type corrosion inhibitor with more pronounced effect on anodic domain and the inhibition efficiency of BFC increases with increase in temperature ranges from 30°C to 60°C. AC impedance implies thatRctvalue of BFC increases with increase in concentration. CV indicates that the addition of inhibitor controls the oxidation of the copper on the brass metal. The structural confirmation of BFC was carried out by the spectral studies like FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, and the molecular weight was confirmed by LC-MS. Surface characterization of brass with BFC was analysed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Quantum chemical parameter was used to calculate the electronic properties of BFC in order to confirm the correlation between the inhibitor effect and molecular structure of BFC. BFC has more negative charge on nitrogen and oxygen atom, which facilitates the adsorption of BFC on the surface of brass.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the concern of some stainless steel users. To understand the effect of surface white spots on corrosion performance of stainless steel. Design/methodology/approach White spots appeared on some component surfaces made of 316 L stainless steel in some industrial applications. To address the concern about the pitting performance in the spot areas, the pitting corrosion potential and corrosion resistance were measured in the spot and non-spot areas by means of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the two different surface characteristics were analytically compared by using optical microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy and auger energy spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pitting performance of the 316 L stainless steel was not negatively influenced by the spots and the white spots simply resulted from the slightly different surface morphology in the spot areas. Findings The white spots are actually the slightly rougher surface areas with some carbon-containing species. They do not reduce the pitting resistance. Interestingly, the white spot areas even have slightly improved general corrosion resistance. Research limitations/implications Not all surface contamination or roughening can adversely affect the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Practical implications Stainless steel components with such surface white spots are still qualified products in terms of corrosion performance. Originality/value The surface spot of stainless steel was systematically investigated for the first time for its effect on corrosion resistance and the conclusion was new to the common knowledge.

Two types of polymeric coating were applied on an AISI 1020 steel, where one of them was reinforced by carbon nanotubes, with the objective of protection against corrosion in a medium containing saline solution, NaCl 3% wt satured with CO2, at 75 bar and tested at 50oC and 75oC for 360 hours. Electrochemical techniques, such as Linear Polarization Resistance, (LPR), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Tafel curves and weight loss method, were used for coating evaluation performance. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to determine both the morphology and chemical composition of the layer formed on the analyzed surfaces. The coating adhesion to metallic surface was evaluated using pull-off test according to ASTM D4541-09. For the studied conditions, the results obtained showed that there was no adequate coating protection, occurring failures and indicating that both coatings may not be used in the tested conditions.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibitive action of some green leaves on Monel 400 alloy in acidic media. Design/methodology/approach Green leaves of Mespilus japonica, Ricinus communis L and Vitis vinifera were immersed in methanol solutions, separately, and filtrated after 48 h of immersion; the obtained filtrates were examined as corrosion inhibitors of Monel 400 alloy in hydrochloric acid solution (1.0M HCl). The performance of these inhibitors was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization. The effect of temperature on corrosion behavior of Monel 400 was also studied. Findings The results obtained showed that all tested inhibitors performed as good corrosion inhibitors. The inhibition process is attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitors on Monel surface. The adsorption behavior was found to follow Langmiur isotherm. The inhibition efficiencies of extracts increased with increasing the concentration of each inhibitor and deceased with increasing the temperature. Practical implication These inhibitors could have application in industries where hydrochloric solutions were used to remove the surface impurities of Monel 400. Originality/value This paper helps to find new corrosion inhibitors that are safe and eco-friendly.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to elucidate the effect of Mn addition on the corrosion behavior of stainless steel. Design/methodology/approach Chronoamperometry, quasi-steady-state polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the corrosion behavior of Mn added A13Cr-HS sample and original S13Cr samples. In addition, the corrosion product film was characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Findings The A13Cr-HS sample with 8 wt.% Mn addition maintained good general corrosion resistance in both acidic and alkaline solutions compared to the original S13Cr sample. Additionally, the A13Cr-HS sample had good pitting resistance in an alkaline solution containing Cl−, but a weaker resistance in an acidic solution. Originality/value The influence of Mn addition on the formation mechanism of the passive film was systematically analyzed.
