Abstract
The effect of Ni2+ cation, imidazole, and mixtures of them on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was studied by using galvanostatic polarization, potentiodynamic anodic polarization, and weight-loss techniques. Ni2+ cation, imidazole, and mixtures of them provide a good protection to carbon steel against pitting corrosion in chloride-containing solutions. The inhibiting solutions were analyzed by using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The inhibition was explained on the basis of formation of a complex between the two components. The inhibition mechanism was discussed in terms of the results derived from corrosion and UV–Vis spectrophotometric measurements as well as conductometric investigations.
