Abstract
The effect of triazole (TR), 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the inhibition of brass corrosion in simulated cooling water system has been studied using electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The potentiodynamic polarization study reveals that these inhibitors inhibit both cathodic and anodic reactions, indicating a mixed-type control of inhibition and their inhibition depend on the nitrogen number in their structure. It shows that the ATA is the best inhibitor. The interference between CTAB and TR derivatives against corrosion has been also studied. So, a large passive current plate is observed directly from the corrosion potential in the presence of formulation. In addition, the operational parameters effect on the performance of this formulation is also investigated. It shows that its inhibition efficiency increases with pH, immersion time and the presence of corrosion products and takes its performance by increasing in temperature. The SEM/EDX data confirm that the formulation is a corrosion and scale inhibitor.
