Abstract

Assessment of silicon oil as natural inhibitor on brass in 1 M H2SO4 acid solution has been studied using linear potentiodynamic polarization and gravimetric method in the inhibited concentration variation between 2% to 10% range. Tafel extrapolation techniques were used to obtain corrosion potential (Ecorr) and corrosion current density (Icorr). From all indication, the inhibitor is of mixed type. The adsorption behavior occurs on the surface of brass due to the presence of the absorbed complex atom from the oil. The calculated portion of the surface covered from the corrosion process follows Langmuir adsorption Isotherm.
