The Inhibiting Effect of Monoethanolamine on 6063 Aluminum Alloy in Sodium Chloride Solution

Abstract:

Monoethanolamine (MEA) was investigated as corrosion inhibitors of a 6063 aluminum alloy in 3.5 % solution using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques and weight loss. The polarization curves show that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and decrease corrosion current density (icorr) of the 6063 aluminum alloy. EIS results indicate that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase impedance of the 6063 aluminum alloy. The results show that monoethanolamine exhibits better inhibitor properties for the 6063 aluminum alloy. Electrochemical test results show monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve corrosion resistance and the inhibition action depends on the concentration of the inhibitor. The weight-loss experiment also proves that monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve the corrosion resistance of the 6063 Al alloy.
