This paper aims to evaluate the corrosion inhibition capacities of synthesized compounds 1-(2-pyridinyl)-2-(o, m-, p-hydroxyphenyl) benzimidazoles in API 5L X52 steel/HCl 1M corrosion system.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique was used.

The studies determined that under stagnant conditions, the durability and efficiency were maintained over 80 per cent for up to 500 h of immersion, while the residence time started to decrease after 150 h at the best inhibitor concentration (150 ppm).

This work may help to attenuate corrosion problems in the petroleum industry.

It is the first time that 1-(2-pyridiniy)-2-(o-, m-, p-hydroxyphenyl) benzimidazoles were evaluated as corrosion inhibitors.

This paper aims to use an imidazole-based n-ionic Gemini surfactant derived from palm oil to inhibit the sulfide stress corrosion cracking of a supermartensitic stainless steel.

The slow strain rate testing technique, hydrogen permeation tests and potentiodynamic polarization curves have been used.

Addition of the inhibitor below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) decreased the corrosion current density (i_corr), but not enough to avoid embrittlement due to the entry of hydrogen into the steel. Instead, the addition of the inhibitor close to the CMC decreased the i_corr, suppressed the entry of hydrogen and inhibited the sulfide stress cracking of steel. Finally, the addition of inhibitor above the CMC led to a slight increase of i_corr and promoted localized corrosion, however, the sulfide stress cracking of steel was inhibited.

A green sulfide stress corrosion cracking inhibitor of a supermartensitic stainless steel has been obtained.
