Abstract:In the present paper, cerium nitrate salt was used as a green inhibitor to improve the corrosion resistance of mild steel in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution. To increase the barrier effect and film stability of the protective layer, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added. The corrosion tests were evaluated using d.c polarization techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The composition and morphology of the sample surface were characterized using Raman spectroscopy and MEB/EDS analysis. The results show that t… Show more
