چکیده مقاله :
Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) technique under open circuit conditions as the only truly noninvasive electrochemical methodcan be applied to investigate the corrosion inhibition. According to calculation of the total amount ofnoise charges due to all partial signals resulted from wavelet analysis of EN current data, it ispossible to obtain the inhibition efficiency (IE) of an inhibitor. These IE values show a reasonableagreement with those obtained from potentiodynamic polarization and EIS measurements.
