Abstract
Abstract Weight loss measurements and potentiostatic polarization studies show that 2-hydrazino-6-methyl-benzothiazole (HMBT) acts as an effective inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 1 N HCl and 1 N H 2 SO 4 . It behaved predominantly as cathodic inhibitor in HCl and mixed inhibitor in H 2 SO 4 . Hydrogen permeation studies also show that HMBT acts as an effective cathodic inhibitor by decreasing hydrogen permeation current through mild steel surface. The adsorption of HMBT on mild steel from 1 N HCl and 1 N H 2 SO 4 is found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm.
