Abstract
The inhibitive action of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (DMABT) on the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al -15 vol. pct. SiC(p) composite and its base alloy was studied at different temperatures in sulfuric acid medium containing varying concentrations of it, using Tafel extrapolation technique and AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that DMABT was an effective inhibitor, showing inhibition efficiency of 70% in 0.5 M sulfuric acid. The adsorption of DMABT on both the composite and base alloy was found to be through physisorption obeying Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters such as free energy of adsorption and activation parameters were calculated.
