Abstract:

The inhibitive and adsorptive properties of Sesmum indicum eco-friendly oil for stainless steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid was investigated using weight loss technique as well as electrochemical technique. The result has proved that the oil is excellent inhibitor for stainless steel in hydrochloric acid. The inhibition efficiency of oil for stainless steel increased with increase in amount of oil. The mechanism of the oil on the surface of stainless steel was found to be spontaneous, exothermic and physical adsorption. The experimental data fitted well to Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Obtained results were justified from the galvanostatic polarization method.
