Action of corrosion inhibitors (Part 3)

Abstract

Corrosion inhibitors suppressing generalized corrosion of metals have been reviewed in the earlier articles, "Action of Corrosion Inhibitors (Part 1) and (Part 2)" [Zairyo-to-Kankyo, 56, 243 and 292 (2007) ]. Actions of corrosion inhibitors for local corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion-wear, corrosion of rebar in concrete and corrosion in non-aqueous solutions, and also of additives in rust preventing oils, scale inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, and volatile corrosion inhibitors are described in this review.
