In the previous report
(1), we showed that the corrosive action of boiling 5% sulphuric acid on 20-27% chromium stainless steels containing 5% Ni, 1% Mo and 1% Cu suddenly increases at nearly 25% Cr and the steels containing less than 25% Cr have unstable acid resisting property in this acid.
Therefore, concerning 23% and 20% chromium stainless steel containing 5% Ni, 1% Mo and 1% Cu which suffer frepuently severe corrosion in boiling 5% sulphuric acid, we made researches on the effect of addition of seveal organic and inorganic acid pickling inhibitors in markets to the acid solution.
As the results, among organic inhibitors, “Henkel” and “Picknoc” inhibit comparatively well the corrosion with addition of more than 0.20% and “IBIT” more than 0.25%. “Rodine” inhibits remarkably the corrosion and stabilizes the acid resisting property of these steels with addition of more than 0.25-0.5% of it.
Among inorganic inhibitors, potassium chromate (K
2CrO
4), as anodic inhibitor, is most effective and inhibits perfectly the corrosion with a small addition of only 0.005% and the film formed on the surface of steels is perfect and stable, but sodium phosphate (Na
2HPO
4) has no effect. Both Sodium arsenate (Na
2HAsO
4) and Antimony chloride (SbCl
3), as cathodic inhibitor, inhibit the corrosion with addition of more than 0.5%, however, the film formed on the surface of steel is unstable. Zinc sulphate (ZnSO
4) has comparatively poor effect.
