Abstract
2-Amino-5-phenyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole (APT) has been studied as an inhibitor for corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical measurements indicate that the compound acts as a mixed type inhibitor and the mechanism of adsorption on mild steel is chemisorption. The spontaneous adsorption of APT is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
