Myclobutanil is a triazole fungicide with low toxicity and easily biodegradable so that it can be used as an alternative corrosion inhibitor in metal pickling. Myclobutanil was studied as a corrosion inhibitor of Cu in 0.5M HNO3 solutions by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical test show that myclobutanil is an effective inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency equal approximately to 93.7% when the inhibitor concentrations were fixed in 1mM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
