The paper presents the results obtained when using one ketonic Mannich base BM (1-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(1piperidinylamino)propan-1-one hydrochloride) as corrosion inhibitor in saline environment, for different types of carbon steels, with various alloying elements. The Mannich base was synthesized and used in corrosion experiments, in concentrations varying from 0….1300 ppm. The corrosion experiments were performed by potentiodynamic polarization studies, with 50 mVs-1 scan rate. The corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency were calculated from corrosion current density, determined from polarization curves. Based on the experimental data, the interactions between the steel and the organic inhibitor were discussed. It was proved that adsorption process occurs in all cases and the mechanism strongly depends on the alloying elements. It could be estimated that the inhibitor's adsorption is due to the interaction with the aromatic ring and with the ionic head.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
