Abstract
A comprehensive literature review covered corrosion inhibition and stress corrosion of copper-based alloys is presented. It reveals the detailed mechanisms of corrosion, stress corrosion and its inhibition with environmentally-friendly inhibitors in sulfide polluted sea water. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the modes of corrosion, corrosion inhibition and stress corrosion cracking of α Al-bronze alloy in chloride solutions with different concentrations of sulfide ions in presence and in absence of different concentrations of amino acids with and without applied stress as well as the electrochemical behavior of the alloy in these media. Electrochemical techniques were performed to assist the interpretation of the SCC data. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) were used to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) experiments were carried out in order to verify the elements present on the surface of α Al-bronze alloy after immersion in the tested solutions for 24 hour. A comparison of SEM micrographs obtained in the absence and presence of inhibitors reveals a marked inhibiting effect of these compounds.
