Abstract

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of potassium chromate -Zn2+system in controlling corrosion of mild steel immersed in simulated concrete pore solution SCPS prepared in well water has been evaluated by weight loss method. The formulation consisting of 100 ppm of K2CrO4 and 50 ppm of Zn2+ provides 98% of IE. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+ - chromate complex and Zn(OH). Polarization study confirms the formation of a protective film on the metal surface .AC impedance spectra also revealed that a protective film formed on the metal surface. The inhibitor system controls the anodic reaction predominantly. The reactions are diffusion controlled process.
