Item The inhibiting effect of N - cyclohexyl - N?- phcnyl thiourea (CPTU) and N-naphthyl-N?- phenyl thiourea (NPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solution of 0.1 N H2SO4 have been demonstrated using potentiodynamic polarization technique. The polarization data have shown that these compounds act as efficient anodic inhibitors for mild steel. Adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface was found to obey Temkin's adsorption isotherm. Good inhibition efficiency (IE) was evidenced in both the compounds and it was found to vary with concentration of the inhibitors. The kinetic parameters of adsorption obtained reveal spontaneous adsorption and a strong interaction of the compounds on the mild steel surface. © 2006 SAEST.(Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in sulphuric acid solution) Divakara Shetty, S.; Shetty, P.; Sudhaker Nayak, H.V.2006Item Corrosion inhibition of 6061 aluminium alloy/SiCp composite in hydrochloric acid medium using 3-chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbohydrazide(2011) Kini U, U.; Shetty, P.; Divakara Shetty, S.; Arun Isloor, M.The inhibitive action of 3-chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbohydrazide (CBTC) on the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al alloy/SiCp composite has been studied at four different temperatures (30°, 40°, 50° and 60°C) in hydrochloric acid medium (0.5 and 1 M) using Tafel extrapolation technique and weight loss method. Polarization curves indicate that CBTC acts as cathodic inhibitor. Inhibition efficiency is found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration upto a critical value and with decreasing temperature. The inhibition efficiencies obtained by Tafel extrapolation technique and weight loss method are in good agreement. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the composite surface is found to obey Temkins' and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The inhibition is governed by physisorption mechanism.
