Inhibitors for Aluminium in Acid Solutions

Abstract

Corrosion rates and inhibitor efficiencies have been determined for commercial aluminium in hydrochloric acid with the following inhibitors: nicotinic acid; dextrin; thiourea; and tannic acid. Polarisation studies have been made with thiourea and the mechanism of corrosion inhibition is herein discussed.
