Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Numerous organic inhibitors have been reported for the corrosion inhibition of various metals. It is found that the synthetic heterocyclic compounds containing atoms with high electronegativity like nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen or phosphorous are very effective in preventing the corrosion of metals. In recent years, a trend is developed for analysing the compounds containing 1,2,4-triazole moiety for the corrosion inhibition of metals, as triazole nucleus containing three nitrogen atoms in a single ring. In this article, it is aimed to review the usefulness of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives for the corrosion inhibition of different metals and alloys in acid/base medium.
