The effect of temperature and stirring on the coefficient of inverse proportionality of the polarization resistance and corrosion rate of steel 20 intap water inhibited with IF-2Ts

The dependence of the coefficient of inverse proportionality factor K betwe en the polarization resistance and the corrosion current of a CT20 steel in tap water on temperature, stirring intensity, and the concentration of an IF-2Ts inhibitor was investigated. It was shown that the variation of K is associated with the formation of an inhibitor's adsorption film on the stee l surface and the participation of dissolved O-2 in the adsorption. The coe fficients of reducing the calculated corrosion current and the experimental loss of the mass of the CT20 steel in tap water, as a result of additions of the IF-2Ts inhibitor, are determined.
