Abstract

This research demonstrates the effect of some amide compounds (1 and 2) as corrosion inhibitors on C-steel in 1.0 M of hydrochloric solutions utilizing mass reduction studies, electrochemical [potentiodynamic (PP), AC impedance measurements (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation] techniques, and surface checks were used to illustrate the importance of amide compounds to the corrosion protection process of C-steel. The tests displayed that the inhibition efficiency (IE%) augmented with increase in amide dose but reduced with growth of temperature. The highest inhibition efficiency is 99% for compound (1) and 98.8% for compound (2) at maximum dose tested (50 µM) by polarization method. PP data show that these compounds affect both cathodic and anodic processes (i.e. mixed type) and were adsorption on the carbon steel obeying Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The EIS results indicate that the changes in impedance parameters are related to the adsorption of amides on the alloy surface. Scanning of electron microscopy, energy transmitted X-ray—Atomic force microscopy studied the morphology of inhibited C-steel.Graphic abstract
