Cathodic Kinetics on High Resistance and Low Alloy Steels with Corrosion Inhibitors

This paper presents a study of the cathodic kinetics of high resistance and low carbon steel by the potentiodynamic cathodic polarization curves. In this study, the steel was immersed in a NACE brine with 50 ppm of corrosion inhibitor dissolved under turbulent flow conditions, room temperature and atmospheric pressure of the Veracruz Port. In order to simulate the hydrodynamic conditions, a Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE) with different...
