Brass used in heat exchanger is corroded in industrial water. The used inhibitor is extracted from horse tail herb added in different concentrations and temperature to industrial water in which heat exchanger if exposed to these conditions. Brass is studied under the above conditions using potentiodynamic polarization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. Potentiodynamic po...

Piperazine and its derivatives such as phosphates, carbonates, benzoates, cinnamate and maleate were developed and investigated as vapor phase corrosion inhibitors by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization methods for mild steel. All of these compounds have shown good inhibition efficiency for mild steel after 30 days under continuous condensation test (CT). The potentiodynamic polarization ...

This paper focused on the characterization of electrochemical behavior of a martensitic stainless steel in the acidic solutions. For this purpose, electrochemical parameters were derived from potentiodynamic polarization, Mott Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that corrosion current density of AISI 420 ...

The electrochemical behavior and the corrosion rate of aluminum electrode have been evaluated in different pH solutions in absence and presence of aggressive anion, using open-circuit potential measurements and potentiodynamic polarization technique. Also, the corrosion inhibiting effects of ortho, meta and para toludine in a solution of pH4 containing 0.1M sodium chloride was investigated usin...

The potential of triethylenetetramine (TETA) to inhibit the oxidation of pyrite in H(2)SO(4) solution had been investigated by using the open-circuit potential (OCP), cyclic voltammetry (CV), potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance (EIS), respectively. Experimental results indicate that TETA is an efficient coating agent in preventing the oxidation of pyrite and that the inh...

Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae), originating from China, now distributes all over the world. Wide application of Ginkgo biloba extracts is determined by the main active substances, flavonoids and terpenoids, which indicates its extracts suitable to be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor. The extracts of Ginkgo biloba leave have been investigated on the corrosion inhibition of Q235A steel with ...

Potentiostatic, galvanostatic and cyclic potentiodynamic depositions of polyaniline were studied by cyclic voltammetry and in-situ Raman spectroscopy. Multivariate analysis of the spectroelectrochemical data including evolving factor analysis, multivariate curve resolution and 2Dcorrelation spectroscopy was applied to resolve overlapped bands in Raman spectra and to assign them reliably. Oxidiz...

Corrosion inhibitors play a major role in the cost effective control of corrosion. Because of the toxic nature and high cost of chemicals plant extracts are currently used as inhibitors. In the current study, efforts are taken to study the role of seed extracts of Phaseolus aureus on corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl by weight loss method and potentiodynamic polarization technique. The Potentio...
