The effect of inhibitor structure on the corrosion of AA2024 and AA7075

A range of structurally-related compounds were tested for their capacity to inhibit corrosion on aluminium alloys AA2024-T3 and AA7075-T6 in 0.1 M NaCl solution. It was found that the thiol group, positions para- and ortho- to a carboxylate, and substitution of N for C in certain positions strongly inhibited corrosion. The hydroxyl group was slightly inhibitive, while the carboxylate group provided little or no corrosion inhibition on its own. In several cases, different activities were found on the different alloys, with some compounds (particularly thiol-containing compounds) being more effective on AA2024 than on AA7075.
