The Impact of Drugs as Corrosion Inhibitors on Aluminum Alloy in Coastal-Acidified Medium

The use of corrosion inhibitors has proven to be one of the effective methods of corrosion protection of metals and alloys.Aluminum alloys are good candidate materials for structural components in major industrial application owing to their excellent corrosion resistance. However in high intensity coastal and acidified medium the challenge of micro porosity and hydrogen embrittlement distributed along the interface cannot be neglected as suitable corrosion inhibitive compounds is needful without significantly reacts with the environmental components. The challenges of most effective organic and inorganic Inhibitors when dissolved in aqueous environments are increasingly due to their toxicity. Drug as inhibitive compound have been seen as suitable replacement for this high toxic organic inhibitors since both react by adsorption on a metallic surface. They are usually compounds that form film and cause the formation of precipitates on the metal surface, thereby blocking both cathodic and anodic and sites. Therefore, this study covers the general overview of impact of some drugs as corrosion inhibitive compound on aluminum for industrial applications and their environmental impact
