Extract ofFicus exasperataleaves was investigated as corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 N H2SO4using conventional weight loss, electrochemical polarizations, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopic studies. The weight loss results showed that the extract ofFicus exasperatais excellent corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical polarizations data revealed the mixed mode of inhibition. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, with the change in concentration of the extract is due to the adsorption of active molecules leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. Scanning electron microscopic studies provided the confirmatory evidence of improved surface condition, due to the adsorption, for the corrosion protection.

The experiments were done to find some good corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 5% HF solution by the method of weight loss and electrochemistry including polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results show that the thiourea, potassium thiocyanate, and hexamethylenetetramine have good inhibition effect for mild steel in 5% HF solution, especially potassium thiocyanate and thiourea. Their corrosion resistance was greatly enhanced in the presence of tested inhibitor. Thiourea is an anodic type inhibitor and its inhibition efficiencies up to 99.88% can be obtained. Equivalent circuit of the investigated system was suggested.

Purpose This paper aims to study the inhibition effect of 2-pyridinealdazine on the corrosion of mild steel in an acidic medium. The inhibition effect was studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel polarization measurements. Design/methodology/approach Weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and spectral and conformational isomers analysis of A (E-PAA) and B (Z-PAA) were performed were investigated. Findings 2-pyridinealdazine (PAA) acts as a good inhibitor for the corrosion of steel in 2.0 M H3PO4. The inhibition efficiency increases with an increase in inhibitor concentration but decreases with an increase in temperature.

Methionine (MET) as a corrosion inhibitor for brass in O2-free 1M NaOH solution was investigated using weight loss, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The surface morphology after corrosion test was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicate that MET is a cathodic inhibitor, and the inhibition efficiency increases with MET concentration.

Purpose The inhibition effect of Foeniculum vulgare seeds’ (FVS) extract on the corrosion of mild steel in acidic medium was studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization, as well as the surface morphology of the mild steel. Design/methodology/approach Weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy analysis of FVS extract were performed. Findings FVS extract acts as a good inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in inhibitor concentration but decreases with the increase of temperature. Practical implications FVS extract was observed to play an important role in the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acidic solution. Originality/value This paper is intended to be added to the family of green inhibitors which are highly efficient inhibitors and can be used in the area of corrosion prevention and control.

AbstractInhibition effect of imidazole derivative 1,7′-dimethyl-2′-propyl-1H,3′H-2,5′-bibenzo[d]imidazole (DPBI) against mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solutions was evaluated using the conventional mass loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mass loss results showed that DPBI is an excellent corrosion inhibitor; electrochemical polarizations data revealed the mixed mode of inhibition; and the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance, and double layer capacitance with the change in the concentration of the inhibitor is due to the adsorption of the molecule leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. The inhibition action of this compound was assumed to occur via adsorption on the steel surface through the active centers of the molecule.

This paper presents a comprehensive method to evaluate the mixture of dicyclohexilamine and oleylamine (DCHA+OA) as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in CO2 environment in liquid and vapor phase. Corrosion inhibitor volatile properties were investigated in order to determine if DCHA+OA can be used to control the severity of the top of the line (TLC) corrosion attack. Corrosion measurements were performed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear polarization resistance, potentiodynamic sweep measurements, as well as the electrical resistance measurements and weight loss measurements, in order to determine the inhibitive performances of dicyclohexilamine and oleylamine. In order to define surface morphological characteristics scanning electron microscopy technique was applied. The electrochemical study and weight loss measurements indicated that DCHA+OA significantly decreased the corrosion rate in liquid phase when 50 ppm of DCHA+OA was added. Scanning electron microphotographs indicated protective inhibitor film has formed on the steel surface and revealed that good protection was achieved, along with the decrease in the corrosion rate determined by weight loss and electrochemical techniques. Using electrical resistance measurements in vapor phase it was shown that concentration of 1000 ppm DCHA+OA significantly decreased the corrosion rate at the top of the line, only when it was carried there within its own foam and not due its volatility.

The corrosion inhibition consequence of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (APOT) and 5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (MPOT) were accomplished by employing weight loss measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization measurement and scanning electron microscope (SEM). An impact of immersion time 12.0 h and different temperatures (298, 308 and 318 K) with solution of 1.0 M HCl, which include various concentration of inhibitor at the corrosion of mild steel were designed. Weight loss measurement showed that with enhancing the concentration of these studied inhibitors the percentage inhibition efficiency (IE%) enhances, but corrosion rate (CR) diminishes while reverse condition in case of temperatures change. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy examine pointed out that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) values enhances and consequently the double layer capacitance (Cdl) values diminishes with rising each inhibitor concentration in 1.0 M HCl and also there is a formation of adsorption coating at the metal surface. Polarization measurement showed that both APOT and MPOT perform as mixed type corrosion inhibitors. Furthermore, the adsorption behaviour on surface of mild steel for each studied inhibitor results the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Surface conduct of mild steel also designed through the SEM and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and concludes that there is evolution of inhibitive film of APOT and MPOT on the surface of mild steel.

The corrosion inhibition property of cucurbiturils has studied in 10% HCl for mild steel using gravimetric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. It was found that the inhibition efficiency of inhibitors increases with increase in concentration. The effect of temperature on the corrosion rate was investigated and some thermodynamic parameters were calculated. Polarization studies show that inhibitors are of mixed type in nature. The results show that they are good inhibitors, and the adsorption of inhibitors on mild steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies were used to characterize the surface morphology of uninhibited and inhibited mild steel specimens. The results obtained from experimental measurements and those from theoretical calculations are in good agreement.
