Abstract

The effectiveness of aminotrimethylidene phosphonic acid (ATMP) as a corrosion inhibitor in association with a bivalent cation like Zn2+ and non-ionic surfactant like polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) were investigated by measuring corrosion losses using electrochemical techniques. The corrosion of 304 stainless steel in the ground water medium was inhibited by complexation of the inhibitor. A combined inhibition effect was achieved by adding both ATMP and Zn2+ along with Tween 80. The formulation functioned as a mixed type inhibitor. The synergistic effect of the inhibitor compound is calculated. Luminescence spectra, FTIR spectra, XRD, XPS and scanning electron microscopic studies were carried out to understand the mode of corrosion inhibition and also the morphological changes on the metal surface.
