Abstract
The inhibitive effect of thiourea's (TU) alkyl derivative—allyl-thiourea (ATU) on the corrosion behaviors of bulk nanocrystalline and conventional polycrystalline ingot iron (BNII & CPII) was tested. Results indicate that BNII is less prone to get corrosive than its coarse grain counterpart in blank 1molL−1 HCl at room temperature. When CPII and BNII were immersed for a very short time in the corrosive solution inhibited by ATU, namely, 5min, no inductive loop appears at different concentrations. When time became prolonged, for BNII, a Warburg impedance appeared. Inhibited by ATU, the electrodes composed of the samples are polarized anodically during the potentiodynamic polarization tests, the phenomena of desorption happens at the concentration of 100mgL−1, but the variation between potential Edes is obvious. The inhibition effect of ATU for BNII is very limited by comparison with CPII in dilute HCl.
