Abstract

Abstract The corrosion of a carbon steel in (0.5 – 9.0 M) HCl media using weight loss, electrochemical polarization and polarization resistance measurements was investigated. The corrosion data are discussed as function of the Strehlow acidity function Ro(H) which is the extension of pH in concentrated solutions. Weight loss, corrosion current densities and resistance polarization values show a linear behaviour with the Ro(H) acidity function. The corrosion potential-Ro(H) plot is also linear using the ferricinium (Fc+) / ferrocene (Fc) reference electrode in concentrated acid solutions.
