Abstract

Inhibition of 304 stainless steel corrosion in acidic chloride pickling (1.0 M HCl) solutions by newly synthesized oxazocine derivative 4 as a corrosion inhibitor have been studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and atomic absorption spectroscopy investigations. Potentiodynamic polarization curves show that the inhibitor behaves as a mixed-type. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface in the acid solution was found to obey Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The inhibition mechanism of the investigated inhibitor was discussed in terms of its adsorption on the metal surface. The relationship between the molecular structure and the inhibition efficiency was elucidated by quantum chemical calculations.
