Electro-oxidation of 4-hydroxybenzalaniline in alkaline solution on mild steel surface was successfully carried out using cyclic voltammetric technique. Results demonstrated that brownish colour appeared on the mild steel surface after the cycle of voltammetric study. The presence of film was confirmed by the EIS measurement whereas the Nyquist plots obtained from EIS measurements were fitted with suitable electrical equivalent circuit. The coated mild steel exhibit better polarization resistance than uncoated mild steel.

In this study, poly(m-aminophenol) (PMAP) coating was electrochemically synthesized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on mild steel surface to investigate the effects of its barrier protection within the scope of its electrochemical impedance towards further oxidation of the mild steel substrates. The developed PMAP coating were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The barrier resistance ability of PMAP coating towards corrosion of mild steel was determined in 0.5 M aqueous sodium chloride solution (NaCl) at various immersion times by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The barrier properties were interpreted through impedance measurement using Nyquist and Bode plots. Equivalent electrical circuit models derived from the plots were employed to describe the coating barrier behaviour and performance. Data obtained showed that, the oxidation peak of PMAP coating were observed at potential +1.0 V (Ag/AgCl). The micrograph of FESEM indicates the formation of a dense and continous PMAP coatings. In FTIR analyses, the presence of peak around 1082 cm-1 ascribed to C–O–C etheric linkage which supported the formation of electro polymerized PMAP coating on mild steel surface. EIS measurement revealed that, PMAP coatings experienced a significant drop in total impedance values with time followed by the development of an electrochemical reactions on coating/metal interface, which indicates the gradual degradation of the barrier resistance ability of the PMAP coatings.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl. Design/methodology/approach – A pharmaceutical drug acetyl G was investigated for its corrosion inhibition efficiency using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. Results from polarisation studies revealed mixed type of inhibition. Impedance studies, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface. Research limitations/implications – The drug acetyl G has sulphur and nitrogen atoms which effectively block the corrosion of mild steel and is non-toxic and has good inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – This method provides an excellent, non-toxic and cost-effective material as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. Originality/value – Application of this drug as a corrosion inhibitor has not been reported yet in the literature. Replacing the organic inhibitors, this green inhibitor shows excellent inhibition efficiency. This is adsorbed excellently on the mild steel surface due to the presence of long chain and hetero atoms. Thus, the drug retards the corrosion reaction.

The synergetic effects between hydroethanolic extracts of A. visnaga HE (AV) and Z. mays hairs HE (ZM) on corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was investigated at 298 K by two techniques: potentiodynamic polarization (PP) methods (Tafel and Stern & Geary) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The mixture of HE (AV)/HE (ZM) acted as an efficient corrosion inhibitor and its inhibition efficiency increased with concentration up to 96.55% at 0.01 gL−1 HE (AV)/0.2 gL−1 HE (ZM). The polarization curves revealed that the mixture acted as a mixed-type inhibitor, with anodic predominant action. The EIS studies were fitted by the (Rs + CPEdl)/(Rct + CPEf/Rf) equivalent circuit model. The kinetic parameters were in favor of a physisorption character of adsorption of HE (AV)/HE (ZM) components onto the mild steel surface. The influence of exposure time on the efficiency of mixture extract was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) analyses confirmed the formation of a protective adsorbed film upon the mild steel surface.

Electrodeposition was carried out on mild steel surface in 0.3 M sodium hydroxide solution (70% distilled water: 30% ethanol) containing 0.1 M salicylideneaniline using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. Both techniques show the formation of the films on the mild steel surface. The corrosion behavior of electrodeposited mild steel was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique at various immersion times in 0.5 M sodium chloride solution (NaCl). The study indicates that the resistance of mild steel against corrosion increases after being electrodeposited with salicylideneaniline. However the films tend to diminished after 24 hours being immersed in 0.5 M NaCl solution.

The influence ofN-(l-morpholinobenzyl)urea (MBU) on corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl was studied by weight loss, effect of temperature, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing of MBU concentrations but decreases with increasing temperatures. The adsorption of MBU on the mild steel surface obeyed the Temkin’s adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that MBU acted as a cathodic inhibitor predominantly in hydrochloric acid. This was supported by the impedance measurements which showed a change in the charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance indicating adsorption of MBU on the mild steel surface. Protective film formation against the acid attack is confirmed by SEM.

<span lang="EN-US">The surface modification of mild steel was achieved by chemical treatment in lumefantrine (LF) solution. The surface morphology and wettability of modified surface was analysed by 3D profilometer and contact angle goniometer. The corrosion inhibition performance of modified mild steel surface in 1.0 M HCl solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques.Electroche­mical measurements illustrate that the corrosion of mild steel in acidic chloride medium get substantially reduced by introducing LF film on its surface (94 % efficiency). Quantum chemical parameters were evaluated by ab initio method and they confer appropriate theoretical support to the experimental findings.</span>

IR spectra and SEM proved the adsorption of organic inhibitors and the formation of corrosion products on the mild steel surface.

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 solution by the pharmaceutically active compound esomeprazole (ESP) has been investigated by using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior with the addition of different concentrations of ESP was studied in the temperature range of 30–60°C. Results obtained revealed that the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in concentration of the inhibitor but decreased with the increase in temperature. The addition of KI increased the inhibition of ESP to a considerable extent. The experimental results suggest that the presence of iodide ions in the solution stabilized the adsorption of the ESP molecule on the mild steel surface, thereby improving the inhibition efficiency. Polarization curves indicated that the ESP belonged to a mixed-type inhibitor. Adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Some thermodynamic functions of dissolution and adsorption processes were also determined. Surface analysis via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) shows a significant improvement in the surface morphology of the mild steel plate.
