Abstract
Effect of thiourea on corrosion resistance of aluminum in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution is experimentally investigated. Results show that the addition of thiourea inhibits the sulfuric acid corrosion of aluminum. The inhibition efficiency can be enhanced with an increase in thiourea concentration. It is found that Rp values increases and C dl values decreases with increasing inhibitor concentration. The inhibition happens through adsorption of thiourea on the metal surface without modifying the mechanism of corrosion process. Inhibition efficiency obtained from all methods is in good agreement. The adsorption of inhibitor on aluminum surface from 0.5 M H2SO4 acid solution obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
