摘要:The inhibition effect of some Chalcone derivatives [3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one as aninhibitor (1) and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one as an inhibitor (2)] on the corrosion ofaluminum in 0.5 M HCl solution was studied using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) and weight loss measurements. The results drawnfrom the different techniques are comparable and exhibit small discrepancy. Results for weight loss indicated thatinhibitor efficiency (% IE) increased with increasing inhibitor concentration, reaching a maximum inhibiting power of85.9 , 95.7 % at 21 x 10-6 M for inhibitors 1 and 2, respectively and decreased with increasing the temperature.Polarization studies clearly revealed that the presence of inhibitors changes the mechanism of hydrogen evolution andthe metal dissolution i.e. they act as mixed type inhibitors. Some activation and adsorption thermodynamic parameterswere calculated and discussed. The surface coverage of the inhibitors obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
