Abstract
The corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 in natural sea water, in presence of an inhibitor named Thiourea-Zn2+ has been evaluated. Weight loss method, polarization study and AC impedance spectra have been employed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 alloy in natural sea water, in presence of an inhibitor named Thiourea-Zn2+ system. Weight loss method reveals that Thiourea-Zn2+ system offers a maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 95% in controlling corrosion of SS 18/8 alloy in natural sea water. Synergism parameters are found to be greater than 1, confirming the synergistic effect existing between Thiourea-Zn2+. Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the metal surface obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarisation study reveals that the inhibitors named Thiourea-Zn2+ system functions as mixed type of inhibitor. AC impedance spectra confirm the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. This formulation of Thiourea-Zn2+ may be used in cooling water systems where SS 18/8 alloy pipelines are used to carry sea water which is used as coolant. Also, Thiourea-Zn2+ coating can be given on SS 18/8 alloy to protect it from corrosion by sea water when SS 18/8 alloy is used as hull plates in ship industry.
Highlights
4-Mercaptopyridine (C5H5NS) was added to the synthetic sea water solution and its corrosion inhibition efficiency was evaluated on electrodeposited smooth bright nickel layer and nickel films with hierarchical micro/nano structure
In the present work corrosion resistance SS 18/8 alloy specimens immersed in various test solutions were measured by Polarization study and AC impedance spectra
The experimental data collected are presented and discussed scientifically under the following headings and useful conclusions are derived from the interpretation of the experimental data
Summary
Noorbakhsh Nezhad et al have investigated the synergistic effect of two corrosion control strategies named, application of an inhibitor and enhancing the surface superhydrophobicity, for protection of electrodeposited nickel in saline solutions. For this purpose, 4-Mercaptopyridine (C5H5NS) was added to the synthetic sea water solution and its corrosion inhibition efficiency was evaluated on electrodeposited smooth bright nickel layer and nickel films with hierarchical micro/nano structure. Polarization study and AC impedance spectra will be employed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 in natural sea water, in presence of an inhibitor named Thiourea
