ABSTRACT
Metal working straight oil contain large quantities of additive such as
corrosion inhibitors, in this paper we study the following additive as corrosion
inhibitor before will be use.
The corrosion inhibition of carbon steel by Di dodecyl benzyl tri ethyl
ammonium chloride (CS) is investigated in 1M H2SO4 using weight loss
measurements and galvanostatic polarization curves. The corrosion rate decreases The abstract will

the chemical structure of the inhibitor. Some electrochemical parameters such as
Icorr, Ecorr, ba and bc are evaluated from galvanostatic polarization technique. The
results of inhibition efficiency evaluated from galvanostatic polarization technique
are in a good agreement with those obtained from weight loss technique.
Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is used to examine the surface
morphology of the carbon steel samples both in absence and presence of each
inhibitor at optimum conditions.
