Evaluation of non‐ionic surfactants as corrosion inhibitors in seawater

Abstract

Corrosion control in cooling systems where seawater forms the coolant is primarily effected with inhibitor additions. Deals with the evaluation of non‐ionic surfactants as corrosion inhibitors in seawater, on conventionally used type 316L SS. Potentiodynamic anodic cyclic polarization studies were carried out to evaluate the performance of non‐ionic surfactants. Emphasizes the role of these compounds as effective inhibitors focusing on the chemical behaviour and nature of chemisorption, influencing the inhibiting properties.
