Corrosion inhibition effect of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT) compounds on ST-37 carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and it was observed that both of these compounds have corrosion inhibition effect on carbon steel. Evaluation of electrochemical behavior in test solutions showed that by increasing the immersion time from 15 to 300 min, corrosion resistance of samples is increased and at the same immersion time MBT has a better corrosion inhibition in comparison to ABT. AFM technique was performed for MBT and ABT. The results of calculations showed superior inhibition efficiency of MBT in comparison to ABT. This can cause easier protonation and consequently adsorption on the metal surface occurs. (C) 2014 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
