Corrosion Inhibitors

  • First Online:
Introduction to Corrosion Science

Abstract

Several different methods of corrosion protection have been considered so far in this text. These methods can be classified as ones of changing the electrode potential of the metal surface or of changing the nature of the metal itself. Cathodic protection and anodic protection are two methods of corrosion control by changing the electrode potential. The nature of the metal can be changed through the use of metallic coatings (sacrificial or noble) or by material selection in which a corrosion-resistant alloy is chosen over a less corrosion-resistant one. Very often, however, material selection is not an option due to the requirements of retaining some other desirable property (such as mechanical strength), or is prohibited by cost. In such cases, altering the environment by the use of corrosion inhibitors then becomes a possible means of corrosion control.
