The Inhibition Chemistry of 2-Amino, 5-Phenyl 1, 3, 4-Triazole for Aluminium in Hydrochloric Acid Solution

Abstract

The inhibitor 2-amino, 5-phenyl 1,3,4-triazole have been synthesized in alcohol medium. Corrosion of aluminium in 2N hydrochoric acid and the effect of the inhibitors in combating the corrosion have been investigated. The conventional weight loss method and electrochemical potentiodynamic polarizarion method have been employed for aluminium plates. From the above analysis, the inhibiting efficiencies increases with increasing inhibitor concentration then decreases. Polarization and impedance values shows that triazole inhibitor is marginally anodic controlled and activation controlled. SEM micrographs indicate that the metal surface is fully covered with inhibitor molecules thereby providing high degree of protection.
