Inhibiting action of nitrogen-containing heterocycles in corrosion of low-carbon steel

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We have investigated the inhibiting action of acetonitrile derivatives and secondary amine in a hydrochloric acid medium during corrosion of low-carbon steel. It is shown that the protective effect ranges from 86.5 to 92.5% (2 mmole/liter) in a 1 M solution of hydrochloric acid, from 51.2 to 89.6% in a hydrogen sulfide medium, and from 14.5 to 87.3% (3.5 mmole/liter) under biocorrosion. Comparing the coefficients of retardation of triazole acetonitrile, benzaldehyde, p -methylbenzaldehyde, methyltriazoloazepine, and p -toluidine, which are structural fragments of the investigated compounds, we have established that the triazoloazepine and aryl substituents in the composition of a molecule of secondary amine assure a substantial synergetic effect, whereas, in the composition of acetonitrile derivatives, they provide an additive action.
