The production of polyaniline films on mild steel from sulfuric acid was carried out using cyclic voltammetry. Corrosion protection of the coating was observed in 3.5% NaCl using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Results showed that the polyaniline layer has the potential to protect mild steel by stabilizing the oxide layer formed on the steel surface and thus prevent the metal dissolution process.

Manganese ions doped Pani films were prepared by using a cyclic voltammetry technique on mild steel substrate. Corrosion resistances performances of them in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution were obtained by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization curve, and SEM method. The results showed that manganese ions doped Pani particles became smaller and tighter, the resistance reduced, and the corrosion potential rose than Pani in H2SO4 solution.

Abstract This paper investigated optimization of corrosion inhibitory attributes of mixed cocoa pod-Ficus exasperata (CP-FE) extracts towards mild steel in 1.5 M HCl using central composite design. Potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were used for the electrochemical study. The result revealed maximum inhibition efficiency of 91.52% at temperature, inhibitor concentration, time and acid concentration of 50 °C, 5 g/L, 144 h and 0.2 M, respectively with R 2 value of 0.9429. Central composite design predicted optimum point of 70.37 °C, 3.81 g/L, 127.37 h and 0.22 M. Potentiodynamic polarization revealed extract to be mixed-type inhibitor with anodic prevalence. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that corrosion inhibition occurred via adsorption of CP-FE molecules on active sites of MS surface. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed protection of mild steel surface by adsorbed molecules of CP-FE extracts. Fourier transform infrared revealed presence of carboxyl (–COOH), unsaturated (–C-C–) and hydroxyl (–OH). Energy dispersive spectroscopy revealed presence of high iron composition on mild steel surface in the presence of mixed CP-FE extract proving its corrosion inhibition efficiency in 1.5 M HCl. Atomic adsorption spectroscopy revealed loss of Fe2+ into free HCl solution. Generally, extract from mixed CP-FE was found as effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1.5 M HCl solution.

The protection of mild steel by modified epoxy coating containing colophony microencapsulated corrosion inhibitors was investigated in this study. The corrosion behavior of these epoxy coatings containing colophony microcapsules was studied by electrochemical analysis using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The microcapsule coating showed decreased corrosion current densities of 2.75 × 10−8 and 3.21 × 10−8 A/cm2 along with corrosion potential values of 0.349 and 0.392 VSCE for simulated concrete pore solution and deionized water with 3.5 wt.% NaCl, respectively, indicating improved corrosion protection in both alkaline and neutral pH. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis also showed charge transfer resistance values over one order of magnitude higher than the control sample, corroborating the electrochemical corrosion potential and current density testing results. Overall, the use of colophony microcapsules showed improved corrosion protection in simulated concrete pore solution and DI water solutions containing chloride ions.

The inhibiting action of Thai-bael fruit extract at room temperature on hot-rolled steel in 1M HCl solution was studied. The chemical functional groups of the green inhibitors were characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. The electrochemical activities of steel surface were investigated through linear polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, surface assessment techniques based on optical microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing samples have been prepared in the form of square plates with the size 1 × 1 cm2. The organic corrosion inhibitor extract from Thai-bael fruit has shown the smallest corrosion current density (Icorr) of 114.8 μA cm-2 and corrosion potential (Ecorr) of -424.6 mV, compared with standard Ag/AgCl electrode potential. In comparison, similar tests in the bare HCl solutions yielded Icorr = 882.4 mA cm-2 and Ecorr = -445.8 mV. The mixed-type corrosion inhibiting behaviour was evidenced in the results of the polarization measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that the resistance to charge transfer due to the presence of the extracts has been increased by about four times that of the same test on the bare HCl solution, indicating the formation of a protective layer. The adsorption of the organic molecules near the steel-electrolyte interface is evident in the decreasing double-layer capacitance with the enhancing concentration levels of the extract. This latter finding supports the displacement of the water molecules by means of the adsorption of the inhibitors on the steel surface. The optical images of steel surface before and after being immersed in HCl solution also showed pieces of evidence of corrosion retardation. XANES study as well as the linear combination fitting revealed that the samples immersed in HCl solutions with Thai-bael fruit extract possess less Fe3+ compositions. All tendencies across the four examinations indicate that Thai-bael fruit extract could potentially inhibit the corrosion reaction of steel electrodes in the acidic solution.
