Comparative Study on Mild Steel in Acidic Medium Using 5-Amino-2-chloro-3-picoline as Inhibitor

摘要

Based on the survey of corrosion studies on mild steel, 5-amino-2-chloro-3-picoline compound has been chosen as corrosion inhibitor on controlling the rate of mild steel material on both H2SO4 and HCI acidic medium at 303 K. By weight loss method and electrochemical studies the rate of corrosion and inhibitor efficiency were calculated. The result revealed that the efficiency of the inhibitor increases as the concentration of the inhibitor increases. Based on the analysis and result it shows that the corrosion inhibition behaviour of 5-amino-2-chloro-3-picoline is high in H2SO4 than HCI.
