Abstract
α‐naphthylamine, thioglycolic acid and urea have been investigated as inhibitors of the corrosion of 63/37 brass in nitric acid. Thioglycolic acid is the most efficient inhibitor which affords nearly complete protection to brass. All the three substances predominantly act on local cathodic areas.
