Abstract

The inhibiting effect of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) on mild steel in 1M Hydrochloric acid has been studied by using three techniques namely: weight loss, electrochemical polarization and metallurgical research microscopic techniques.  Results obtained reveal that CPC is good inhibitor and shows very good corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE). The IE was found to vary with concentration of inhibitor and temperature. The electrochemical polarization result revealed that CPC is anodic in nature.

 

Key words: Corrosion inhibition, mild steel, electrochemical polarization.
