The alleviation of iron corrosion in 3.5% NaCl sodium chloride solution using N,N′-bis[2-methoxynaphthylidene]amino]oxamide (MAO) as a corrosion inhibitor has been reported. The work was achieved using various investigation techniques. Potentiodynamic cyclic polarization (PCP) displayed a powerful inhibition for the corrosion via reducing the iron’s cathodic and anodic reactions. This was reflected in reduced corrosion currents and increased polarization resistances in the presence and upon the increase of MAO concentration. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicated that MAO molecules provoke the corrosion resistance via increasing polarization resistance. The power of MAO on decreasing pitting attack was also investigated through measuring the change of current with time at −0.475 V(Ag/AgCl). Scanning electron microscopy images were taken of the surface after the current–time measurements were performed in the absence and presence of MAO. The current-time experiments indicated that MAO highly mitigates the corrosion of iron. The energy dispersive X-ray analyzer reported the products found on the tested surfaces. The effect of extending the exposure time from 1 h to 48 h was also tested and was found to alleviate the corrosion of iron, whether MAO molecules are absent or present.

Hydrazone [N,N′-bis[2-hydroxynaphthylidene]amino]oxamide] derived from the condensation of ethanedihydrazide with 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde was synthesized and assessed on the basis of elemental analysis (CHN) and spectral (IR, mass, 13C/1H NMR and UV-Vis) measurements. The influence of N,N-bis([2-hydroxynaphthylidene]amino)oxamide (HAO) in terms of the inhibition of iron corrosion in concentrated sodium chloride solution (3.5 wt.% NaCl) after various exposure periods was assessed. Numerous electrochemical and spectroscopic assessment techniques were performed. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization experiments indicated that the presence of HAO and its increased concentration decreased the corrosion of iron in NaCl solution by decreasing the corrosion values, anodic and cathodic currents, and corrosion rate. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed that HAO molecules greatly increased the corrosion resistance. The chronoamperometric experiments performed at −475 mV (Ag/AgCl) revealed that the HAO molecules decreased the absolute currents and reduced the probability of the occurrence of pitting corrosion. The effect of HAO on the inhibition of iron corrosion was also confirmed through scanning electron microscopy micrographs and energy-dispersive X-ray profile analyses, which proved that the surface of the iron sample exposed to chloride solution alone was pitted, while the presence of HAO molecules reduced the severity of the pitting corrosion. The results confirmed that the presence of HAO molecules inhibits the corrosion of iron and this impact increased when the exposure time was increased to 48 h.

In this work, the fabrication of three Al-2wt.% SiC nanocomposites processed by novel milling route was carried out. The beneficial influence of milling route on the corrosion passivation of the new fabricated composites was investigated. The cyclic polarization measurements have proved that increasing the time of ball milling highly reduced the corrosion of Al-SiC nanocomposite via reducing obtained corrosion current and so increasing the corrosion resistance. These results were affirmed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. The pitting corrosion of the manufactured composites was also reported, and its intensity decreased with the increase of ball milling time. The electrochemical experiments were also performed after expanding the exposure time in the chloride solution to 24 and 48. It was found that both the uniform and pitting corrosion decrease with prolonging the time. The study was complemented by examining the surface morphology and the elemental analyses for the different composites by using surface analyses techniques.

In the present work, a layer of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr with thickness of 260 ± 15 µm was coated onto the API-2H pipeline steel surface using high-velocity oxy-fuel deposition. The effect of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating on the corrosion of the API steel after 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h exposure in 4.0% sodium chloride solutions is reported. The corrosion tests were performed using potentiodynamic cyclic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric current–time techniques along with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. The curves of polarization indicated that the presence of the coating increases the corrosion resistance of the steel through decreasing its corrosion current and corrosion rate. Impedance data showed that all resistances recorded higher values for the coated API steel. Chronoamperometric current–time measurements confirmed that the coated API steel has lower absolute current values and thus lower corrosion rate. All results proved that the presence of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating enhances the corrosion resistance of the API steel via the formation of a protective layer of Cr and Ni oxides, which could lead to decreasing the corrosion rate.

The effect of sulfate ions on the corrosion behavior of steel in ordinary Portland concrete (OPC) and high performance concrete (HPC) were investigated. Steel corrosion was evaluated by means of corrosion potential (Ecorr), linear polarization resistance (LPR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic polarization (CP). The electrochemical results indicated that, compared to the pure chloride solution, the presence of sulfate ions in the chloride solution both reduced the time to corrosion initiation and lead to an increase in corrosion rate of steel in OPC specimens; however, the sulfate ions had negligible effect in HPC specimens. Furthermore, the corrosion rate of steel exposed to chloride solution was higher that to the sulfate solution both in OPC and HPC specimens.

This paper studies the corrosion inhibition of X52 5L carbon steel in 0.51 mol dm-3 sodium chloride solution in the presence of propolis extract. The inhibition efficiency of propolis extract in a chloride solution was tested by its adding to the working solution and by making a solid propolis coating on the electrode surface. The possibility of corrosion inhibition in the presence of propolis in flow conditions as well as at different temperatures was investigated by electrochemical methods: potentiodynamic polarization method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was shown that propolis extract acts as a corrosion inhibitor of anodic type whose efficiency increases with increasing of temperature and with stirring of solution. The best protection is achieved by applying propolis coating in flow systems. The EIS method confirmed formation of a protective layer by adsorption of propolis extract on the electrode surface. The results of the FTIR, SEM and EDX surface tests are consistent with the results of electrochemical testing and suggest that propolis extract acts as a corrosion inhibitor of steel by forming a protective film on the electrode surface.

Research background. Due to the growing interest and attention of the world towards environmental problems and protection of environment, the worldwide demand for biodegradable and effective corrosion inhibitors for tinplate has grown. Considering the diversity of the structures of polyphenols that are present in sage extract, it represents a promising potential source of low-cost and biodegradable effective green corrosion inhibitors for tinplate in 3.0 % sodium chloride solution which is evaluated in this study. Experimental approach. Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at 25 °C has been used to evaluate the inhibition action of sage (Salvia officinalis, L.) extract as a green inhibitor for the corrosion protection for tinplate in 3.0 % sodium chloride solution. Results and conclusions. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy has been used to show that sage extract could serve as an effective inhibitor (90.2 %) for the corrosion of tinplate in 3.0 % NaCl at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L, and temperature of 25 °C. The results obtained from potentiodynamic polarization have revealed that the sage extract inhibitor acts as a mixed type, with inhibition efficiency up to 82.5% and the inhibition efficiencies calculated from EIS are in close agreement with those results. FTIR results indicated that the inhibitory effect of the sage extract is due to the presence of a passivation layer on the tinplate surface, which consists of organic compounds such as polyphenols. It has been confirmed by these results that the sage extract is more efficient at inhibiting the corrosion of tinplate at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L than in higher concentrations. Also, it exhibits good inhibitive performance for tinplate in 3 % sodium chloride solution. Novelty and scientific contributions. The exceptional corrosion potential of sage extract opens a door for its use and revalorization as a green corrosion inhibitor in the food industry.

This study aimed to examine the extract of barks of Tamarix aphylla as a corrosion inhibitor. The methodology briefly includes plant sample collection, extraction of the corrosion inhibitor, gravimetric analysis, plotting potentiodynamic polarization plots, electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements, optimization of conditions, and preparation of the inhibitor products. The results show that the values of inhibition efficiency (IE%) increased as the concentrations of the inhibitor increased, with a maximum achievable inhibition efficiency of 85.0%. Potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests revealed that the extract acts as a dual-type inhibitor. The results obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements indicate an increase in polarisation resistance, confirming the inhibitive capacity of the tested inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the steel surface follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and involves competitive physio-sorption and chemisorption mechanisms. The EIS technique was utilized to investigate the effect of temperature on corrosion inhibition within the 298–328 K temperature range. Results confirm that the inhibition efficiency (IE%) of the inhibitor decreased slightly as the temperature increased. Lastly, the thermodynamic parameters for the inhibitor were calculated.

To protect steel structures, zinc coatings are mostly used as a sacrificial barrier. This research aims to estimate the dissolution tendency of the electroplated and zinc-rich cold galvanized (ZRCG) coatings of a controlled thickness (35 ± 1 μm) applied via brush and dip coating methods on the mild steel. To assess the corrosion behavior of these coated samples in 3.5% NaCl and 10% NaCl containing soil solutions, open circuit potential (OCP), cyclic polarization (CP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed. The more negative OCP and appreciably large corrosion rate of the electroplated and ZRCG coated samples in 3.5% NaCl solution highlighted the preferential dissolution of Zn coatings. However, in saline soil solution, the relatively positive OCP (>−850 mV vs. Cu/CuSO4) and lower corrosion rate of the electroplated and ZRCG coatings compared to the uncoated steel sample indicated their incapacity to protect the steel substrate. The CP scans of the zinc electroplated samples showed a positive hysteresis loop after 24 h of exposure in 3.5% NaCl and saline soil solutions attributing to the localized dissolution of the coating. Similarly, the appreciable decrease in the charge transfer resistance of the electroplated samples after 24 h of exposure corresponded to their accelerated dissolution. Compared to the localized dissolution of the electroplated and brush-coated samples, the dip-coated ZRCG samples exhibited uniform dissolution during the extended exposure (500 h) salt spray test.
