Corrosion inhibition of Cu in nitrate solution

The effect of ethylenediamine [ED] and acetic acid on the corrosion inhibition of copper in 0.1 M NaNO] was studied. The study involved electrochemical polarization methods, gravimetric measurements and scanning electron microscopy investigations [SEM]. Both of ED and concentrated solutions of acetic acid >/= 10[-3] M act as a promoter while diluted concentrations of acetic acid
