In this study, the ability of lithium nitrite and amino alcohol inhibitors to provide corrosion protection to reinforcing steel was investigated. Two types of specimens-reinforcing steel and a reinforced concrete prism that were exposed to chloride ion levels resembling the chloride attack environment-were prepared. An autoclave accelerated corrosion test was then conducted. The variables teste...

This study set out to examine the cystoseira gibraltarica extract (CG) as an environmentally sustainable corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl medium. The corrosion inhibiting effect has been studied by conventional methods such as gravimetric (weight loss) and electrochemical (EIS and PDP) methods. All the methods used in this study confirm that cystoseira gibraltarica extract has ...

The self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was prepared using octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) in distilled solution on the copper surface. The effect of inhibitor concentration on the rate of inhibition efficiency and corrosion rate in corrosion medium on copper by using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) was studied. The results showed...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to solve the chloride corrosion damage problems rebar in reinforced concrete structures under environment. effects 1.0% triethanolamine (abbreviated as TEA), Ca(NO 2 ) , and 0.5% TEA + composite inhibitor) on electrochemical performance modification mechanism mortar specimens were investigated by combining macro experiment microanalysis. results showed tha...

To address rebar corrosion in existing concrete structures, a multifunctional compound rust inhibitor was developed. This study investigates the impact of this on carbon steel resistance, as well mechanical properties and durability concrete. The results demonstrate significant reduction weight loss when using inhibitor, with inhibition efficiency 82.6%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomi...

Effects of alloying element Ca on the corrosion behavior and bioactivity of films formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on AM60 alloys were investigated. The corrosion behavior was studied by conducting electrochemical tests in 0.9% NaCl solution while the bioactivity was evaluated by soaking the specimens in simulated body fluid (SBF). Under identical anodization conditions, the PEO fi...

A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical substance which, when added in small concentrations to an environment, minimizes or prevents corrosion [I]. Corrosion inhibitors are used to protect metals from corrosion, including temporary protection during storage or transport as well as localized protection, required, for example, to prevent corrosion that may result from accumulation of small amounts of...

Treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. The various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. Based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...

Corrosion of metal surfaces amongst other problems is one major disaster militating against proper functioning of the oil and gas and other manufacturing industries. To therefore lessen the risk, organic corrosion inhibitors have been applied to lessen the rate of corrosion and its effects. However, materials with optimal properties, better than content that allow corrosion are used for this em...

Background and Objectives: Kefiran (Kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. The expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as a new composite film. Materials and Methods: Solutions of 20 gr...
