Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel with Tolyltriazole
Tolyltriazole (TTA) is a well-defined corrosion inhibitor for copper and copper alloys. However, there is little literature about its corrosion inhibition performance for mild steels in corrosive environments. This paper studied the electrochemical behavior of TTA in 0.5 M HCl solutions. Also, the morphology and nature of TTA layers on the steel surface were investigated. Electrochemical results showed that TTA is an excellent corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acidic media with an efficiency of 91% for 0.07 M concentration. The results also indicated that TTA is a mixed-type inhibitor. XRD analysis revealed that the inhibition mechanism of TTA is based on the formation of an organic film due to the physically adsorbed molecules of TTA. AFM and EDS results showed that the formed layers decrease the adsorptivity of corrosive elements (Cl-) on the steel surface. Density Functional Theory (DFT) study confirmed the experimental results.
