Corrosion inhibition effect of non-toxic α-amino acid compound on high carbon steel in low molar concentration of hydrochloric acid
Electrochemical studies of the corrosion inhibition effect of biodegradable 2-amino-4-methylpentanoic acid (LCN) on high carbon steel in 1 M HCl acid was evaluated with potentiodynamic polarization technique, weight loss analysis and optical microscopy.Results show the compound to be highly effective with optimal inhibition efficiencies of 87.46% and 85.88% from the electrochemical test with...
