Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of brass-MM55 alloy was studied in artificial seawater with benzotriazole by using a novel method called dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS). This method gives possibility to investigate the protection of metals in corrosive medium by using inhibitors in galvanostatic conditions for a long time. Instantaneous impedance spectra for brass-MM55 were recorded for 10 h in artificial seawater for different concentration of benzotriazole. It was found that a few hours were not enough for the accurate calculation of corrosion inhibition. Also with this method it is possible to figure out how the charge transfer resistance (R ct) changes by the time. Usefulness of the DEIS technique in the investigation of non-stationary phenomena has been proved in the field of inhibitor research. All studies clearly show that benzotriazole inhibits the corrosion of brass-MM55 alloy in artificial seawater solution and the value of inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration of benzotriazole.
