An Investigation Of Usage Eco-friendly Corrosion Inhibitor In Acidic Environment

Abstract

Corrosion is a major concern in the industrial application of ferrous alloys, this is as a result of the enormous cost involved in damages, maintenance and corrosion control. Stainless steels have high corrosion resistance capacity because of the existence of chromium, as a result of the high cost of traditional corrosion inhibitor, science turned to green corrosion inhibitor to try to compensate for it. In this regard we used a lot Cactus oil in acidic media .(H₂So₄ –Hcl) for 4 sample, Variable rates and varying periods of time it was found that the corrosion rate decreases and the best result is a corrosion rate of 0.0001 iron within Hcl in 72 hr ,H₂So₄) within 72 hr.
