Adsorption and corrosion inhibition behavior of stainless steel 316 by aliphatic amine compounds in acidic solution

Abstract

Gravimetric and electrochemical measurements were performed to investigate the effectiveness of an aliphatic amine compound with trade name of Armohib 28. It was found that the percentage inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of the compound concentration. Polarization curves indicate that the inhibitor under investigation acts as cathodic type which retards the rate of corrosion reactions by adsorbing on to the steel surface according to Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The activation energy and thermodynamic parameters were calculated and analyzed. The data obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were analyzed to model the corrosion inhibition process through equivalent circuit.
