Abstract  

The corrosion behavior of AA5052 Al-alloy in 4 mol/L NaOH solution was investigated by means of mass loss method, measurements of hydrogen gas evolution,polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the inhibitor of 30 mmol/L L-Cysteine exhibited the optimal corrosion inhibition performance. Moreover, the adsorption of the L-Cysteine on the Al-alloy surface obeyed the amended Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The polarization curves indicated that the L-Cysteine inhibited the cathodic reaction and acted as a cathodic inhibitor. The inhibition mechanism was dominated by the geometric covering effect.

Key words:  corrosion inhibitor      AA5052 Al-alloy      L-Cysteine      NaOH solution
