Abstract: The inhibiting effect of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) on mild
steel in 1M Hydrochloric acid has been studied by using three
techniques namely: weight loss, electrochemical polarization and
metallurgical research microscopic techniques. Results obtained
reveal that CPC is good inhibitor and shows very good corrosion
inhibition efficiency (IE). The IE was found to vary with
concentration of inhibitor and temperature. The electrochemical
polarization result revealed that CPC is anodic in nature.
Key words: Corrosion Inhibition, mild steel and electrochemical
polarization.
