Vibrational spectroscopy has been successfully used for decades in studies of the atmospheric corrosion processes, mainly to identify the nature of corrosion products but also to quantify their amounts. In this review article, a summary of the main achievements is presented with focus on how the techniques infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy can...

Aluminum and aluminum alloys can be protected against corrosion by various methods of surface modification (e.g., metal finishing, anodizing, chromate conversion coatings, metallic cladding with Alclad, corrosion protection compounds, and solution phase inhibitors). The desire to deploy environmentally compliant multi-functional coatings has created the need for new concepts that can protect Al...

Abstract The production system for industrial oil and gas is susceptible to corrosion, which must be controlled in order sustain well direct as the of tubing initial point contact with corrosion fluid material agent. A chemical reaction between corrosive materials fluids results corrosion. Due its mechanical characteristics, stainless steel has a wide range uses building, chemical, structural s...

This paper presents an analytical review of data on the interaction of volatile corrosion inhibitors with the atmosphere, vaporization processes, methods of experimental and computational estimation of the vapor pressure of organic compounds, and effects of vaporization conditions and compound structure on vapor pressure.

The development of a methodology to predict the performance of a corrosion inhibitor (CI) using specific types of modeled and experimental surfaces and their subsequent estimation is presented. For previously reported imidazoline CIs, the theoretical partition coefficients and molecular volumes were calculated, providing a guide for molecular engineering of new imidazolines. The new CIs, N-[2-(...

The good properties of copper, as well its alloys, make them a often used metallic materials in various industries. Regardless their excellent corrosive resistance, the corrosion process copper can occur under some specific conditions, hence, need for inhibitors. Recently, due to many environmental agencies, “green” aspect was introduced fields, including inhibition corrosion. Keeping mind econ...

The inhibiting effect of drugs towards the corrosion of different metals and alloys has been reviewed in this paper. Results of Weight loss method, Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were investigated. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters provide valuable information about the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Different classes of drugs, having hetero-atoms...

The continuous search for better corrosion inhibitors, due to vast differences in the media encountered in industry remains a focal point in corrosion control. The use of organic compounds to inhibit corrosion has assumed great significance due to their application in preventing corrosion under various corrosive environments. These compounds have great potential to inhibit aqueous corrosion due...

Corrosion of metal surfaces amongst other problems is one major disaster militating against proper functioning of the oil and gas and other manufacturing industries. To therefore lessen the risk, organic corrosion inhibitors have been applied to lessen the rate of corrosion and its effects. However, materials with optimal properties, better than content that allow corrosion are used for this em...
