Potentiodynamic Polarization and Gravimetric Gauging of Corrosion on Mild Steel in Acid Environment and its Protection
Author(s): Mahima Srivastava*
Corrosion resistance behaviour of mild steel was evaluated in mineral acid using castor seeds as inhibitor.
The potentiodynamic polarization measurement was carried out at room temperature for experimental
data. The electrochemical experiment was carried at varying concentrations of the inhibitor. The
extrapolation of the Tafel curves gave the corrosion rate and explained other parameters. The results
obtained showed the susceptibility of mild steel without the inhibitor in mineral acids and its protective
inhibition when different concentrations of castor seeds extract were used as inhibitor in the mineral
acid environment... View More»
