The inhibition performance of three selected dihydrazide derivatives, namely, malonic acid (MAD), succinic acid (SAD), and adipic acid (AAD) dihydrazide, was tested in relation to nickel corrosion in 1.0 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution. Electrochemical methods (Tafel polarization, linear polarization resistance [LPR], and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy [EIS]) were used, complemented with scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive x-ray (SEM/EDX) examinations. Computational studies were also used to confirm experimental findings and to optimize the adsorption structures of dihydrazide derivatives. Results showed that the three tested dihydrazides inhibited Ni corrosion (mixed-type inhibitors) to an extent, depending on the type and concentration of the introduced inhibitor. SEM studies revealed that the corroded areas on the surface were decreased in the presence of additives to an extent, depending on the type and concentration of the tested inhibitor. Results obtained from electrochemical measurements are in good agreement with theoretical studies.

An anticorrosion activity of 8-quinoline sulphonyl chloride (8-QSC) on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was studied by weight loss (WL) method and electrochemical methods, namely, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Tafel polarization (TP), and linear polarization resistance (LPR). Results obtained from WL method, EIS, TP, and LPR, showed that 8-QSC is a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution. The results indicated that the inhibition efficiency and extent of surface coverage were increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and decrease in the corrosion rate. This is due to the formation of protective film on the surface of mild steel. Adsorption of 8-QSC on the mild steel surface was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. A Tafel plot indicates that the used inhibitor behaves predominantly as cathodic type. The surface morphology of the mild steel was studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) Spectroscopy techniques. All the methods give the same order of inhibition efficiencies.

Pure Zn and Zn–ERGO composite coatings were prepared by direct current electrodeposition on 304 stainless steel. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and laser Raman spectroscopy (Raman). Results obtained have shown that the concentration of GO sheets in zinc sulfate electrolyte has an important effect on the preferred crystal orientation and the surface morphology of Zn–ERGO composite coatings. A study of the corrosion behavior of the coatings by Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) methods leads to the conclusion that the Zn-1.0 g/L ERGO composite coating possesses the best corrosion resistance compared to the pure Zn coating and other composite coatings in this study.

In the present study, the inhibition performance of two synthesized hydrazone derivatives (HDZs), namely, (E)-N′-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (HYD-1) and N′-cyclohexylidene-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (HYD-2) on mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl was investigated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The experimental data suggested that the hydrazone derivatives exhibited a high inhibition performance, which increases with increasing their concentrations. HYD-1 and HYD-2 presented maximum inhibition efficiencies of 96% and 84%, respectively, at an optimal concentration of 5 × 10–3 M. The principal observations that resulted from electrochemical studies are that HYDs affected both anodic and cathodic reactions (mixed inhibitors). Their adsorption, which is a combination of chemisorption and physisorption, obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, the temperature effect was carried out at various temperatures ranging from 303 to 333 K to verify the corrosion inhibition performance of HYD-1 at higher temperatures. Moreover, SEM-EDX analysis confirmed that HYDs can ensure remarkable prevention against corrosion through the adsorption onto the metal surface.

The anodization of the Ti-Cu (2%) alloy was carried out in a 5M H3PO4 solution for 2 minutes. The obtained layers are characterized by XPS, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the obtained films are composed of poorly crystallized TiO2 oxide. Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy studies revealed that the thickness of the formed film increases with increasing anodization potential. Additionally, the resistance of charge transfer becomes higher when the anodization potential increases. Thus, the Mott Schottky model revealed that the formed film is an n-type semiconductor. The density of charge carriers is in good agreement with those found in the literature. Also, it is found that the flat-band potential increases with increasing treatment potential.

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.

The corrosion and corrosion inhibition of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel after 10 min and 60 min immersion in 2.0 M H2SO4solution by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) were reported. Several electrochemical techniques along with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) were employed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that the increase of immersion time from 10 min to 60 min significantly decreased both the solution and polarization resistance for the steel in the sulfuric acid solution. The increase of immersion time increased the anodic, cathodic, and corrosion currents, while it decreased the polarization resistance as indicated by the potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The addition of 1.0 mM ATA remarkably decreased the corrosion of the steel and this effect was found to increase with increasing its concentration to 5.0 mM. SEM and EDS investigations confirmed that the inhibition of the HSLA steel in the 2.0 M H2SO4solutions is achieved via the adsorption of the ATA molecules onto the steel protecting its surface from being dissolved easily.

The influence of Al2O3 nanoparticles on corrosion inhibition of benzotriazole (BTA) in brass/ simulated water system was studied by potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that BTA has good corrosion inhibition effect on brass. Al2O3 nanoparticles could reduce the corrosion inhibition performance of BTA. The higher the concentration of Al2O3 nanoparticles in simulated water, the lower corrosion inhibition performance of BTA. The isothermal adsorption of BTA on brass surface in simulated water and Al2O3 nanofluids was analyzed. The results indicated that the adsorption of BTA on brass surface followed the Langmuirs’ adsorption isotherm, the adsorption Gibbs free energy ΔG was less than −40 kJ/mol, corresponding to chemical adsorption, in both simulated water and Al2O3 nanofluids. The −ΔG value of BTA on brass surface decreased in Al2O3 nanofluids, indicating the weakening of the BTA adsorption on the brass surface. Surface analysis of brass samples by optical microscope and X-ray diffraction confirmed the above results.

The inhibiting activity of CIE(CIE) to the dissolution of Al in 2M HCl medium was carried out by chemical strategies (mass loss and gasometry) and electrochemical systems, for example, tafel polarization (TP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM). Surface morphology was examined utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) outcomes indicated that the inhibition mechanism was by adsorption process through the functional groups that exist in the investigated extract. The results demonstrated that the inhibiting efficiency expanded with expanding amounts of the extract. Polarization information demonstrated that CIE goes about as an inhibitor of mixed type. The procedure of adsorption on Al surface ascribed to Langmuir isotherm. All thermodynamic calculations were determined and discussed. The inhibitive efficiencies obtained from all utilized procedures have acceptable values.
