Item The inhibition of corrosion of mild steel in 0.01-0.1 N HCl solutions by N-cyclohexyl-N?-phenyl thiourea (CPTU) has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization technique. Results obtained reveal that CPTU performs excellently as anodic inhibitor for mild steel in HCl solution. The inhibitor functions through adsorption following Temkins' adsorption isotherm. The influence of parameters like temperature, hydrochloric acid concentration and inhibitor concentration on the corrosion of mild steel has also been studied.(Inhibition of corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid by N-cyclohexyl-N?- phenyl thiourea) Shetty, S.D.; Shetty, P.; Nayak, H.V.S.2005Item The inhibiting effect of N-furfuryl-N?-phenyl thiourea (FPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions of 0.05 and 0.1MHCl, as well as 0.025 and 0.05 M H2SO4 has been demonstrated using the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The polarization data showed that FPTU acts as an efficient anodic inhibitor for mild steel in both acid solutions. Avery high inhibition efficiency was evidenced in both acid solutions and it was found to vary with the concentration of the inhibitor and temperature. The obtained kinetic parameters of adsorption revealed spontaneous adsorption and a strong interaction of FPTU with the mild steel surface.(Serbian Chemical Society, The inhibition action of N-furfuryl-N?-phenyl thiourea on the corrosion of mild steel in acid media) Shetty, S.D.; Shetty, P.; Nayak, H.V.S.2006Item 3-ethyl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole as corrosion inhibitor for 6061-alloy in sodium hydroxide solution(2011) Reena Kumari, P.D.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.The inhibition action of 3-ethyl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (EAMT) on the corrosion of 6061-Al alloy in different concentrations of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution has been investigated at different temperatures, using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic techniques. The surface morphology of the metal surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results showed that the presence of EAMT in sodium hydroxide solution decreases the corrosion rates and the corrosion current densities (icorr), and increases the charge transfer resistance (Rp). It was found that the inhibitor efficiency depends on the concentration of the inhibitor, concentration of the corrosive media and temperature. The inhibition was assumed to occur through adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the metal surface. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface is found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. EAMT acts as a mixed inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption processes were determined from the experimental data. The results obtained from both the techniques are in good agreement.
