Abstract The University of Technology in Baghdad addresses problems related to the corrosion of metals. In the present investigation, a thiophene derivative, namely, 2-acetylthiophene thiosemicarbazone (2-AT), was synthesized and examined as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in a 1-M hydrochloric acid environment by using weight loss and scanning electron microscopic techniques. The inhibition efficiency of this inhibitor increases with increase in concentration, which offered an inhibition efficiency up to 96%. It was found that the inhibition efficiency decreases with long immersion time. The temperature effect on the inhibition performance was studied at various immersion times and revealed that the inhibition efficiency decreases with increasing temperature. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of mild steel in the corrosive environment followed the Langmuir isotherm. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that the 2-AT molecules confirmed the presence of a protective layer on the surface of a mild steel sample. The density-functional theory as a quantum modeling technique which is used to study the electronic structure reveals that the obtained findings were found to be consistent with the experimental results.

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution by N'-(2-(2-oxomethylpyrrol-1-yl)ethyl)piperidine (N-OPEP) was studied employing weight loss techniques. The experimental findings revealed that N-OPEP is the most excellent corrosion inhibitor, and the inhibitory performance increases with an increase in the inhibitor concentration. Furthermore, the inhibition efficiency decreases with an increase in the solution Temperature. The adsorption of inhibitor molecules on a mild steel surface followed Langmuir’s isotherm model and was found to be spontaneous. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs approved the formation of a protective layer of the inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel.

In this work, economy novel hydrazine-derived coumarin 4-(6-methylcoumarin)acetohydrazide (MCA) were synthesized, characterized, and tested as an inhibitor for the corrosion of a surface of mild steel in an acidic environment through weight loss and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Results showed that the synthesized inhibitor can inhibit the corrosion of mild steel surface in a 1 M hydrochloric acid environment. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of MCA increases with increasing MCA concentration and decreases with increasing temperature. SEM analysis showed the formation of a film as a protective layer from MCA molecules on the surface of mild steel. Adsorption of the MCA molecules on the mild steel surface in the presence of hydrochloric acid environment was obeyed Langmuir isotherm. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to study the relationship between molecular structure and inhibition efficiency and they found in good agreement.

In this investigation, an oxadiazole namely 5-(4-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl)-2-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PMO), was synthesized and explored as an inhibitor against the corrosion  of mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid environment at various solution temperature 303-333 K. gravimetric, and microscopic techniques, namely, weight loss (WL), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), have been used to evaluate the inhibitive performance of the tested PMO. The results of the WL method displayed that the inhibition efficiency (%IE) was found to increase with the inhibitor concentration, while it reduced with increasing temperature. Furthermore, the WL results reveal that PMO inhibits corrosion display an IE of 95% at the highest concentration of 0.005 M. The SEM images of the mild steel surface coupon after adding PMO revealed a wide coverage of PMO molecules on the mild steel surface. Hence, the high inhibiting efficiency acquired by the tested inhibitor was explained by the strong adsorption of PMO molecules on the surface of mild steel. A protective layer has been constructed and it separating the mild steel surface from the hydrochloric acid solution, and such adsorption was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption nature of PMO molecules on the coupon surface was chemo-physisorption. Quantum chemical calculations were conducted by density functional theory (DFT) which help correlate the methodological findings with the theoretical investigations. The mechanisms of PMO molecules as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel surface in the corrosive environment was also discussed.

Abstract The corrosion inhibition of Schiff base, namely 2-((2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene)amino)pyridine (HMAP), for mild steel (MS) in a 1 M hydrochloric acid environment was investigated by means of weight loss and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Quantum chemical calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) was carried out on HMAP. Results illustrated that HMAP is a superior inhibitor for the corrosion of MS in 1.0M hydrochloric acid environment, and inhibition efficiency is higher than 90.0% at 0.5 g/L HMAP. Inhibition performance increases with regard to concentration increase and inhibition performance decreases when raising temperature. Adsorption of the inhibitor on the MS surface followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the value of the free energy of adsorption; ΔGads indicated that the adsorption of HMAP was a physisorption/chemisorption process. The DFT refers to perfect correlation with methodological inhibition performance.

An aqueous extract of Amomum sabulatum seeds was evaluated for anticorrosive effects on mild steel in the presence of HCl. Weight loss measurements were taken to determine the corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency at various concentrations. With the increasing concentrations of plant extract, the results showed an improvement in inhibition efficiency and a decrease in corrosion rate. In the presence of 1500 ppm concentration of plant extract, it has an inhibition efficiency of 82.08 % at 303 K. The scanning electron microscope was used to examine the surface, which proves that while the extract was there, a protective layer formed on the metal surface.

AbstractA novel pyridine derivative was synthesized, and its corrosion inhibition effects on mild steel in a 1M hydrochloric acid environment were investigated by gravimetric techniques, The results demonstrated that the inhibitive performance increased with the increasing of inhibitor concentration. At 303, the inhibition efficiency of pyridine derivative 4-hydroxy-3-(pyridin-2-ylaminomethyl)toluene accomplished 96.2% at the inhibitor concentration of 0.005 M. The mechanism of inhibition implicated the forming of a protective layer from inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel by a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The presence of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the structure of 4-hydroxy-3-(pyridin-2-ylaminomethyl)toluene confirmed by CHN-analysis revealed the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel surface.

The corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4acid solution and the inhibition process by wheat starch (WS) was investigated using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization measurement techniques respectively. Gravimetric results revealed that there is significant reduction in the corrosion rate of mild steel in the presence of inhibited solution compared to blank solution, and also the inhibition efficiency was found to depend on the concentration of the WS. Data on potentiodynamic polarization results confirmed that WS exhibited mixed type inhibition behaviour, though the cathodic effect was more pronounced. The mode of WS adsorption on the corroding metal surface followed Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature, activation energy and heat of adsorption parameters revealed a strong interaction between the WS constituents and the corroding metal surface, thus indicating that WS lowered the corrosion process by blanketing the mild steel surface through chemical adsorption mechanism. The mechanism of inhibition was discussed in the light of the chemical structure of starch.

Mass loss and Scanning Electron Microscope method (SEM) have been used to study the corrosion inhibition efficiency on mild steel and aluminium using synthesized inhibitors i.e. N-Benzylidene aniline (CI1) and N-Benzylidene 4-methylaniline (CI2) in Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA). Study reveals that both mild steel and aluminium are prone to corrosion in organic acid like TCAA. Out of these two metals, aluminium is more vigorously corroded by the TCAA in comparison to mild steel in same conditions and synthesized inhibitors CI1 and CI2 are almost same effective for mild steel and aluminium.

In the present study, the inhibition performance of two synthesized hydrazone derivatives (HDZs), namely, (E)-N′-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (HYD-1) and N′-cyclohexylidene-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (HYD-2) on mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl was investigated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The experimental data suggested that the hydrazone derivatives exhibited a high inhibition performance, which increases with increasing their concentrations. HYD-1 and HYD-2 presented maximum inhibition efficiencies of 96% and 84%, respectively, at an optimal concentration of 5 × 10–3 M. The principal observations that resulted from electrochemical studies are that HYDs affected both anodic and cathodic reactions (mixed inhibitors). Their adsorption, which is a combination of chemisorption and physisorption, obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, the temperature effect was carried out at various temperatures ranging from 303 to 333 K to verify the corrosion inhibition performance of HYD-1 at higher temperatures. Moreover, SEM-EDX analysis confirmed that HYDs can ensure remarkable prevention against corrosion through the adsorption onto the metal surface.
