Corrosion results in hazardous and expensive damage to pipelines, vehicles, water and wastewater systems, and even home appliances. One of the most extensively practical methods for protecting metals and alloys against corrosion is to use organic inhibitors. The inhibition capability of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) against the corrosion of carbon steel in a 2 M NaCl solution was examined by ...

The applications of Bismuth Titanate (BixTiyOz) materials have been focused on their electronic and optical properties, but with respect to the use of these compounds in applications like corrosion resistance, have been very few or nonexistent. For this reason, in the present investigation BixTiyOz thin films were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering onto silicon wafers, stainless steel 316L...

Corrosion protection performance of a completely soluble polyaniline-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid salt (PANI-DBSA) on C45 steel has been studied with electrochemical impedance and potentiodynamic measurements. Chloroform is the most suitable solvent to process the pristine PANI-DBSA because of negligible interaction of the solvent with the polyaniline (PANI) backbone. An anodic shift in the corr...

This work deals with atmospheric corrosion to assess the degrading effects of air pollutants on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, which are mostly used as engineering materials. An exposure study was conducted in the Tuticorin port area located on the east coast of South India, in the Gulf of Mannar with Sri Lanka to the southeast. Common engineering materials, namely mild steel, galva...

A theoretical carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion model was used to conduct numerical experiments, which allowed total insight into the underlying physicochemical processes. The focus was on factors influencing protective iron carbonate film formation and the effect that these films have on the CO2 corrosion process. It was confirmed that high bulk pH, high temperature, high partial pressure of CO2,...

The inhibition mechanism of sodium oleate (C17H33COONa) for pitting corrosion of aluminum alloy (AA) 2024 in 0.1 mol L NaCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). C17H33COONa showed good inhibition effect on u...

The corrosion behaviour of mild steel (MS) was systematically investigated as a function of the alkyl chain length in the cation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ([Cnmim]TCM, n 1⁄4 2, 4, 6 and 8) ionic liquids (ILs) with respect to their potential application as a structural material and solvents for CO2 capture plants respectively. The surface of MS was examined by scanning ele...
