Abstract

To optimize the economic advantages and corrosion-resisting property of A572 Gr.65 steels, the inhibition effect of water-soluble imidazoline on the sample surface with rare earth was explored in a 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. In this paper, the mechanism of corrosion and the adsorptive behavior of water-soluble imidazoline inhibitors on A572 Gr.65 steels with 47 ppm of rare earth in saltwater solution were discussed, along with the establishment of the adsorption model. Achievements proposed that the inhibition efficiency of water-soluble imidazoline was as high as 95.73% at 80 mg L-1 dosage following an anodic-dominated mixed-type inhibition mechanism. Besides, the scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the corrosion inhibitor resulted in a smoother and more stable rust layer with a significant reduction of the γ-FeOOH. Theoretical calculations confirmed that imidazoline formed a unimolecular layer adsorption film on the steel surface, exhibiting adherence to both Langmuir and Frumkin adsorption isotherms, involving physical and chemical adsorption.
