Abstract

The inhibition effect of glutamic acid towards the corrosion of X65 steel in hydrochloric acid solution(10%) was investigated using polarization techniques, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and SEM. The corrosion rate, corrosion potential (Ecoor), polarization resistance (Rp) and inhibition efficiency (η) were determined. The results revealed that the inhibitor is a mixed type inhibitor.It has promising corrosion inhibition efficiency at low concentrations. The inhibition efficiency (η) increased with increasing the concentration. The maximum inhibition efficiency appeared at 0.3 g·L-1.
