The corrosion inhibition of some sulfated water soluble natural polymer (carrageenan) compounds on the corrosion of iron in 1M HCl was studied using weight loss and galvanostatic polarization measurements. The percentage inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing concentration of inhibitor and with decreasing temperature. The inhibitive action of these compounds was discussed i...

one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

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 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...

The corrosion and protection behaviour of mild steel embedded in concrete, and partially immersed in 3.5% sodium chloride solution, was studied in this investigation at ambient temperature by potential monitoring technique. The work was performed with a digital multimeter and a Cu/CuSO4 electrode (CSE) as the reference electrode. Extracts of pawpaw (carica papaya) leaves and sodium nitrite in d...

the effect of mentha spicata l. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 m hcl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (ie). the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

matrix analysis of corrosion inhibition phenomena (macip), in which an inhibitor isconsidered as a point in a multi-dimensional virtual efficiency space, was performed on somepyridine derivatives. the needed molecular parameters such as homo and lumo energylevels, charge densities on hetero atom, dipole moment, heat of formation, and total energyvalues were obtained by means of semi-empirical q...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered material with high thermal and chemical stability ideal for ultrathin corrosion resistant coatings. Here, we report the corrosion resistance of Cu with hBN grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that hBN layers inhibit Cu corrosion and oxygen reduction. We find that CVD grown hBN reduces the Cu corrosion rate b...

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...
