2-Aminobenzothiazole as an efficient corrosion inhibitor of AA6061-T6 in 0.5 M HCl medium: electrochemical, surface morphological, and theoretical study
Abstract:The inhibitive action of 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT) on the corrosion of AA6061-T6 was evaluated in 0.5 M HCl by electrochemical techniques. The electrochemical results were validated by theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT). ABT showed a mixed inhibitor behaviour with 71–90% inhibition efficiency in the 1 × 10−4 to 1 × 10−3 M concentration range and at 303 to 323 K temperature. The inhibition power of ABT increases with its concentration and rise in the temperature of the medium. The p… Show more
