    Corrosion inhibition of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy in 3.5% NaCl by thiosemicarbazone derivatives
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Prakashaiah, B.G.; Vinaya Kumara, D.; Pandith, A.; Nityananda Shetty, A.; Amitha Rani, B.E.
    Three thiosemicarzone derivatives, namely (E)-2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) hydrazinecarbothioamide(MHC), (E)-2-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (DHC) and (E)-2-(2,3,4-trihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (THC) were synthesized and their corrosion inhibition action on 2024-T3 aluminum alloy was studied in 3.5% NaCl solution. The surface morphology and surface composition of the corroded alloy were examined using FESEM, 3D profilometry, EDX spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The synthesized inhibitors were found to provide corrosion protection on AA2024-T3 by forming an adsorbed layer of the complex on the alloy surface. They exhibited inhibition efficiency in the order, MHC < DHC < THC. Quantum chemical calculations corroborated the experimental results. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

    Improvement of Anticorrosion Properties of Epoxy Primer Coating on Aluminum Alloy 2024-T3 by Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives
    (Springer, 2019) Prakashiah, B.G.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.; Amitha Rani, B.E.
    The effect of adding thiosemicarbazone derivatives on the anticorrosion properties of epoxy primer coatings on aluminum alloy 2024-T3 was investigated. (E)-2-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (2,4-DHC), (E)-2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (3,4-DHC), and (E)-2-(2,3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (2,3,4-THC) were supplemented to epoxy primer that is generally used in aircraft paint systems; and its anticorrosion property was examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray test. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis were used to study the surface topology of the coating system. 2,4-DHC and 3,4-DHC doped primer coating exhibits good barrier properties, while 2,3,4-THC doped primer coating exhibits good barrier properties along with active corrosion protection. © 2019, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
