Abstract
In this study, corrosion behaviour of stainless steel in 0.5 M and 1 M hydrochloric acid was examined. Also, commercial corrosion inhibitor which contain 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTCA) is examined as potential inhibitor for stainless steel EN 1.4301 in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. For experimental research it was used DC-technique (Tafel extrapolation, linear polarization method and potentiodynamic polarization). The obtained results show that the inhibitor is effective in mentioned acid environment and the protection efficiency depends primarily on the concentration of the inhibitor. Based on the obtained results this inhibitor has moderate inhibition efficiency, since the highest efficacy was achieved Ei = 55.7%. According to the corrosion mechanism the inhibitor is behaved as a mixed inhibitor.
