Abstract

The inhibition effect of three pyrazine derivatives of 2-methylpyrazine (MP), 2-aminopyrazine (AP) and 2-amino-5-bromopyrazine (ABP) on the corrosion of cold rolled steel (CRS) in 1.0 M H 2SO 4 solution was studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The results show that all pyrazine compounds are good inhibitors, and inhibition efficiency follows the order: ABP > AP > MP. The adsorption of each inhibitor on CRS surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. For all these pyrazine derivatives, they act as mixed-type inhibitors. The probable inhibitive mechanism is proposed from the viewpoint of adsorption theory.
