Abstract
The detailed study of Pistacia Atlantica Extract (PAE) as corrosion inhibitor for copper and α-brass in nitric acid solution has been performed through potentio dynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) measurements. The effect of inhibitor concentration and immersion time against inhibitor action was investigated. Results show that PAE may be used as an efficient inhibitor for copper and α-brass in nitric acid solutions. Potentiodynamic polarization studies reveal that PAE acts as a mixed type inhibitor without any change in the mechanism of hydrogen evolution.
