Abstract
The corrosion inhibition of metals in seawater can be achieved by the addition of inhibitors to the system that prevent corrosion from taking place on the metal surface. The effect of ascorbic acid on carbone steel corrosion in seawater were investigated by means of different techniques: gravimetric method, electrochemical polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained show that the acid ascorbic effectively inhibits the corrosion of steel X60. The optimal inhibitory efficiency is obtained at a concentration of 0.05 g/L of the inhibitor, with a maximum value of 77%. This inhibitor presents a mixed inhibition character. SEM studies confirm the absence of the deterioration products on the surface of the specimens.
