The corrosion inhibition performance of acetylacetonate complexes of zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) on the mild steel substrate in 1M H3PO4 was studied using DC polarization. It was seen that the mentioned complexes decreased corrosion rate of mild steel in phosphoric acid media due to the adsorption on metal surface. The potential of mild steel shifted toward more active po...

The corrosion inhibition and adsorption (CIA) performance of the aqueous extracts of Aaronsohnia pubescens aerial parts (Odorized aqueous extract (OE) and Deodorized aqueous extract (DE)) on the corrosion mild steel (MS) in 1M hydrochloric acid were evaluated. It is based on the weight loss (WL) analysis, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, and electrochemical methods both stationary (Potenti...

This study investigates the effects of niobium and molybdenum on FeCoNi alloy, including on the microstructures and hardness of FeCoNiNb0.5Mo0.5 and FeCoNiNb alloys, and the polarization behaviors of these alloys in 1 M sulfuric acid and 1 M sodium chloride solutions. The results in this study indicate that both FeCoNiNb0.5Mo0.5 and FeCoNiNb alloys had a dual-phased dendritic microstructure; al...

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution has been investigated using electrochemical methods, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption and inhibition action of acid corrosion of mild steel using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) and different halides (NaCl, NaBr and NaI) has shown synergetic effect. The results showed that the pro...

The inhibition for the corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid solution by the extract of Stevia rebaudiana leaves has been studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the leaves extract. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 0.5M H2SO4 w...

Experiments were designed to evaluate the corrosion-related consequences of storing/transporting fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) alternative diesel fuel in contact with natural seawater. Coastal Key West, FL (KW), and Persian Gulf (PG) seawaters, representing an oligotrophic and a more organic- and inorganic mineral-rich environment, respectively, were used in 60 day incubations with unprotected...

In this study, Malvasylvestris flower extract (MFE) was used as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution. Malvasylvestris extract was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS). Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies revealed that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing MFE concent...

The role of crude oil on carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion has gained special attention in the last few years because of its signifi cance when predicting corrosion rates. However, the complexity and variability of crude oils makes it hard to model its effects, which can infl uence not only wettability properties but also the corrosiveness of the associated brine. This study evaluates the usefulne...

The pretreatment of the substrate, prior to Electroless Nickel (EN) plating, plays an important role in the corrosion protection provided by the EN deposit. Many factors in the pretreatment process can affect the corrosion resistance of the EN deposit. The details of mechanical treatment, chemical/elecuo polishing, acid activation, and pre-processing procedure (such as nickel strike) are among ...
