Propanoyl(1Z)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-oxopropanehydrazonoate as inhibitor for corrosion of 6061 Al alloy15 % (v) SiC(p) composite in hydrochloric acid media

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The corrosion inhibition effect of Propanoyl(1Z)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-oxopropanehydrazonoate (PDOH) in the corrosion of 6061 Aluminium alloy-15%(v) SiC_(p) composite in 0.5 and 1M hydrochloric acid medium at four different temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60 â°C) was investigated using potentio-static polarization (Tafel extrapolation and Linear polarization) and weight loss methods. The results obtained reveal that PDOH is an efficient corrosion inhibitor with around 96% inhibition efficiency within the range of temperature studied. Leftward and downward shifts in Tafel plots were observed with the addition of the inhibitor, indicating that PDOH inhibits the corrosion process effectively, and that it is a cathodic inhibitor. Corrosion rate increases and inhibition efficiency decreases with increase in temperature. Results obtained by Tafel extrapolation, linear polarization, and weight loss methods are in agreement. The adsorption of the inhibitor onto the surface of the 6061 Al alloy 15 % (v) SiC_(p) composite is found to obey Temkins' adsorption isotherm that verifies the assumption of mono-layer adsorption on a uniform homogeneous composite surface with an interaction in the adsorption layer. The inhibition is therefore governed by the physisorption mechanism.

ABSTRAK: Kesan perencatan kakisan Propanoyl(1Z)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-oxopropanehydrazonoate (PDOH) ke atas kakisan komposit aloi Al 6061-15%(v) SiC_(p) dalam media asid hidroklorik 0.5 dan 1M pada suhu-suhu yang berbeza (30, 40, 50 dan 60â°C) telah dikaji menggunakan polarisasi statik-upaya (extrapolarisasi Tafel dan polarisasi Linear) dan kaedah kehilangan berat. Keputusan diperolehi menunjukkan PDOH adalah perencat yang efisien dengan 96 % keupayaan perencatan bagi julat suhu yag dikaji. Anjakan ke kiri dan ke bawah plot Tafel dapat dilihat dengan penambahan perencat, menunjukkan PDOH merencatkan proses kakisan dengan berkesan, dan ia adalah perencat katodik. Dengan peningkatan suhu, kadar kakisan meningkat dan keberkesanan perencatan menurun. Keputusan dari ekstrapolasi Tafel, polarisasi linear dan kehilangan berat.adalah saling bersetuju antara satu sama lain. Penjerapan perencat ke atas permukaan komposit aloi 6061 Al alloy 15 % (v) SiC_(p) memenuhi penjerapan Temkins’ isoterma yang mengesahkan andaian penjerapan lapisan-mono ke atas permukaan komposit homogenus yang seragam melalui interaksi pada lapisan penjerapan. Perencatan dikawal oleh mekanisma fizijerapan.
