Inhibitive Properties of Nitrogen Containing Heterocyclic Compounds over Aluminium Alloys in Organic Acid Environment
Abstract
The effects of Pyridine, Pyrimidine, 2-Picoline, Quinoline, 2:6-Lutidine and Isoquinoline on the
corrosion inhibition of 1060 aluminium in 0.1N concentration of trichloroacetic acid at varying
temperature of 30°C and 40°C are investigated by weight loss method in conjunction to the
concentration of corroding media, period of immersion of Aluminium alloy grade 1060 at the
temperature 30°C with respect to the concentration of inhibitor and activation energy and
adsorption isotherms are plotted to elucidate the mechanism of adsorption of inhibitor on
surface of alloy in that support corrosion potential and its trends are observed cathodic in
nature.
