Tetrahydro-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene-5,11-dihydrazone and Magnesium oxide Used to Control the Corrosion of Aluminium in Chloride ions Environment
Abstract: Chloride ions interact with aluminium in marine atmosphere to form corrosion cell. Due to this corrosion reaction occurs on their surface, aluminium is oxidized into Al3+. The corrosion reaction accelerates deterioration in metal and it produces galvanic, pitting, stress, crevice, intergranular corrosion. Chloride ions decrease internal and external strength of aluminium metal. It is a very important metal so used in different appliances for e.g. road, water, air transports, housing, …
