Abstract

The inhibitive effect of Tryptophan- Zn2+ system in controlling the corrosion of carbon steel in sea water was investigated by weight loss method. Results of weight loss method indicated inhibition efficiency increased with increasing the inhibitor concentration. The corrosion inhibition was observed due to the formation of more stable and compact protective film on the metal surface. The surface morphology of the protective film on the metal surface was analyzed by FTIR and AFM analysis
