Abstract
The inhibition of NaBr on the corrosion of cold rolled steel in 1.0 M phosphoric acid was studied by using weight loss method and polarization method. It was found that the adsorption of bromide ion can prevent steel from corrosion and the adsorption follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization studies showed that NaBr is a mixed-type inhibitor for steel corrosion in 1.0 M phosphoric acid. Thermodynamic parameters such as adsorption heat, adsorption entropy and adsorption free energy were obtained from the experimental data of temperature studies for the inhibition process at four temperatures ranging from 30 to 45°C. The kinetic data such as apparent activation energies and pre-exponential factors at different concentrations of the inhibitor were calculated, and the effects of the apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor on the corrosion rate of cold rolled steel were discussed. The inhibitive action was satisfactorily explained by using thermodynamic and kinetic models. The results obtained from polarization experiment were in good agreement with those obtained from weight loss measurement.
