EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF NA OXAZINOQUINOXALINE DERIVATIVE FOR CORROSION INHIBITION OF AISI 1018 STEEL

The inhibitory ability of an oxazinoquinoxaline derivative (OAQX) against the corrosion of AISI 1018 mild steel induced by aqueous 0.6 mol L-1 NaCl solution is herein evaluated. Linear polarization resistance studies showed the inhibitory efficiency of OAQX varying from 62.75% to 75.93% with OAQX concentration ranged from 0.259 x 10-4 mol L-1 to 3.243 x 10-4 mol L-1. Aiming at to investigate the Tafel curves on the OAQX electrochemical behavior at saline (0.6 mol L-1 NaCl) aqueous media the linear Tafel segments of anodic and cathodic curves were extrapolated to the intersection point which afforded corrosion potential (Ecorr) and corrosion current density (icorr) data. By applying Tafel approach the efficiency of OAQX ranges from 55.30% to 87.60%. In both analysis Langmuir isotherm lead to optimized adsorption parameter. The adsorption mechanism of OAQX is proposed from FTIR experiments and quantum calculations. The theoretical employed method is hybrid B3LYP combined with 6-311++G(d,p). Theoretical results showed OAQX as a promising inhibitor that form a stable protective metal-ligand film on metal surfaces, and differs from several heterocyclic compounds due to its solubility in small amount of DMSO (0.627 x 10-4 mol L-1) which is resistant to a saline aqueous media (0.6 mol L-1 NaCl)
