Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in aerated neutral sodium cloride
solution. In this study, the effect of metal cations Co+2, Ni+2,
La+3 and Ce+3 on the corrosion of aluminium and its alloys in an
aerated 1 M NaCl solution were investigated by polarisation
measurements. The inhibition efficiencies of metal cations were
investigated by obtaining current-potential curves in 1M NaCl solution
and by calculating corrosion characteristics from current-potential
curves. Electrochemical studies showed these cations to axhibit
inhibitive effect on the corrosion of aluminium alloys in the studied
solution.
