Aluminum Alloy Corrosion Inhibition by Sodium Alginate in 0.1% NaCl Solution

Keywords

aluminum alloy, corrosion inhibition, sodium alginate, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Abstract

The high efficiency of the environmentally safe polysaccharide sodium alginate as an inhibitor of aluminum alloy corrosion in a 0.1% NaCl solution was established. The protective action of the alginate consists in inhibiting the cathodic reaction of electrochemical corrosion due to the formation of an organic protective film on the surface of intermetallic inclusions of the alloy.
