Characterization of anti-corrosion triazole film

الملخص EN

Mercaptotriazole (MTRA) was used to inhibit the zinc corrosion by the Red sea water.

The cyclic voltammetric study revealed that the anodic and cathodic peaks disappeared.

The surface morphology of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated a rough surface of zinc when exposed to sea water and smooth surface when the inhibitor was added.

The energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX) experiment supported the binding of the sulfur atom of MTRA on zinc surface.
