Study the Effect of “Di-dodecyl amine” as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel in HCl Medium

Abstract

Numerous organic compounds have been investigated for their potential to reduce corrosion under various circumstances. This study investigated the effects of di-dodecyl amine, an organic chemical, on carbon steel metal corrosion at different temperatures while HCl acid was present. The examination was carried out using accepted methods for polarization, weight loss, and corrosion process testing. The obtained findings demonstrated that the corrosion rate reduces with increasing inhibitor concentration, leading to increased inhibition efficiency. Furthermore, as shown in the weight loss technique, the corrosion rate lowers with increasing surface coverage with organic inhibitor at 313 °C. In the anodic and cathodic polarization methods, as well as in the inhibition efficiency, it is observed to see the cathodic and anodic curves through which the occurrence of the potential and corrosion current is known. The current and corrosion potential decreases with increasing inhibitor concentration. The amines and methyl motiveless in this inhibitor's composition give it their efficacy since they may coat the metal surface and stop corrosion
