AbstractThis investigation aimed to study a “green” non-toxic biodegradable copper corrosion inhibitor in an acidic sodium sulphate solution. The methods used in the investigation of cysteine as a copper corrosion inhibitor in an acidic sodium sulphate solution were: potentiodynamic measurements, open circuit potential measurements, and chronoamperometric measurements. Optical microscopy was used in addition to electrochemical methods. Potentiodynamic measurements show that cysteine has good inhibitory properties in an acidic medium. Polarisation curves indicate that the presence of cysteine in a sulphate solution decreases the current density and that using various cysteine concentrations results in the formation of a protective film on the surface of the electrode due to the formation of the Cu(I)-cys complex. These results are confirmed by chronoamperometric measurements. Furthermore, it is clear from microphotographs that a protective film does form on copper electrode in the presence of cysteine. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm indicates that cysteine is chemisorbed on the surface of the electrode.

AbstractThe influence of 1H-benzotriazole, 5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole and 5-chloro-1H-benzotriazole on copper corrosion in an acidic sulphate medium was studied, as well as the influence of chloride ions on the corrosion behaviour of copper. The methods used were potentiodynamic measurements, open circuit potential and mass loss. The results show that the examined compounds possess good inhibitory properties in an acidic medium. The potentiodynamic polarisation results indicate that the degree of copper protection against corrosion depends on the concentration of Cl

In this paper, a corrosion inhibitor containing nitrogen atoms and a conjugated π bond was synthesised, and its final product synthesised by the optimal conditions of the orthogonal test results is named multi-mannich base (MBT). The corrosion inhibition effect on the N80 steel sheet of the corrosion inhibitor was evaluated in a CO2 saturated solution containing 3 wt % NaCl; the corrosion rate was 0.0446 mm/a and the corrosion inhibition rate was 90.4%. Through electrochemical and adsorption theory study, MBT is a mixed corrosion inhibitor that mainly shows cathode suppression capacity. The adsorption of MBT on the surface of the steel sheet follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm; it can be spontaneously adsorbed on the surface of the N80 steel sheet, which has a good corrosion inhibition effect. The surface of the N80 steel sheet was microscopically characterised by atomic force microscope (AFM). It can be seen from the results that the N80 steel sheet with MBT added is significantly different from the blank control group; the surface of the steel sheet is relatively smooth, indicating that MBT forms an effective protective film on the surface of N80 steel, which inhibits the steel sheet.

The effect of nitrate ions on the electrochemical behaviour of iron (ferrite) and two carbon steels (martensite and pearlite) in sulphate solutions of different pH values was investigated by cyclic voltammetry polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The pitting inhibiting effect of nitrate ions on ferrite in sulphate media is pH dependent. Nitrate ions were unable to inhibit the pitting on ferrite in neutral sulphate solutions, but did effectively protect passivated ferrite from pitting in acidic sulphate solutions. No pitting occurred on the surface of the martensite and pearlite specimens in sulphate solutions regardless of the pH of the solutions. At the open-circuit corrosion potentials, the three materials underwent general corrosion. The impedance spectra for the three materials measured in neutral sulphate solutions containing nitrates and chlorides at the corrosion potentials all showed a capacitive loop, while in acidic sulphate solutions their impedance spectra were greatly reduced in size and displayed at least a low frequency impedance loop (inductive or capacitive loop) besides the well-known high frequency capacitive loop. The variation of the impedance behaviour with pH is explained.

AbstractThe inhibition efficiency of Atlas cedar essential oil (ACEO) as a green corrosion inhibitor on steel in 1 m hydrochloric acidic was studied. The effects of temperature and the concentration of the ACEO inhibitor on the inhibition efficiency were studied. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to test the performance of the inhibitor. We found that the inhibition efficiency of ACEO exceeded 88% at 1 g/l at 298 K and increased with increasing concentration. The evaluation of activation and thermodynamic parameters reveals that the organic molecules of cedar essential oil and its fractions act by chemical adsorption on the metal surface. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of steel is in a good agreement with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Increasing concentration of the corrosion inhibitor enhances the surface coverage and formation of a protective film.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the inhibitive effect of polyaniline (PAni) and N-cetyl-N,N,N trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized PAni in a hydrochloric acid (HCl) medium. Design/methodology/approach PAni has been deposited potentiodynamically on mild steel in the presence of CTAB as a stabilizing agent to achieve high corrosion inhibition performance by the polymer deposition. The corrosion inhibition studies of CTAB-stabilized PAni inhibitor in 0.1 M HCl acidic solution was carried out by electrochemical methods, namely, open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. Findings The results of electrochemical studies have shown that the CTAB-stabilized PAni inhibitor has higher corrosion efficiency than PAni on mild steel in 0.1 M HCl solution. The maximum per cent efficiency evaluated using the potentiodynamic polarization method is approximately 91.9. Originality/value CTAB-stabilized PAni has never been studied as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in an acidic medium. The investigations demonstrate relatively the better corrosion inhibition efficiency and high dispersion of the polymer in the acidic medium.

Recently, ZrN has been attracting interest for its excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, high hardness, good lubricity and ductility. Although tribological study of ZrN coating has been carried out extensively, investigation related to corrosion of ZrN film is limited. In view of this and in view of possible applications of ZrN film in several engineering components, the present investigation has been undertaken to evaluate the corrosion response of ZrN film in seawater solution, Hank's solution, 0.5M H2SO4solution and 0.5M HCl solutions. Towards that purpose, potentiostatic, open circuit potential and potentiodynamic study of ZrN film deposited on plain carbon steel has been carried out in all these solutions. Results indicate that stable protective film is formed on the surface of ZrN coating in all these solution except 0.5M H2SO4 solution. The formation of protective film on ZrN coating is fastest in sea water solution and it is slowest in the Cl¯ ions containing media, 0.5 M HCl. The corrosion current is highest for 0.5M H2SO4 acid solution and least for Hank's solution.
