Inhibition effect of butan-1-ol on the corrosion behaviour of austenitic stainless steel (type 304) in dilute sulphuric acid
The electrochemical behavior of austenitic stainless steel (Type 304) in 3 M sulphuric acid with 3.5% recrystalized sodium chloride at specific concentrations of butan-1-ol was investigated with the aid of potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit measurement and weight loss technique. Butan-1-ol effectively inhibited the steel corrosion with a maximum inhibition efficiency of 78.7% from...
