Abstract
Synergistic effect of Zn 2 + ion, 3- phosphonopropionic acid (3-PPA) and non-ionic surfactant (triton X-100) on the corrosion inhibition of 304 stainless steel in ground water has been investigated by electrochemical techniques. The results of open circuit potential-time measurements, polarization and impedance measurements indicate increased inhibition efficiency. The nature of the film formed and the mechanistic aspects of film formation have been analysed with the help of luminescence spectra. The synergistic effect of inhibitor compounds is illustrated.
