Study of the corrosion inhibitors using the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope : A Mini-Review

Abstract

The application of Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope in the investigation of corrosion inhibitor for metal in acidic environment has reviewed. In this paper the detail procedures of FE-SEM and SEM method to study corrosion inhibition properties of corrosion inhibitors for metal in acidic environments are discussed, and the possible conclusion is made based on the results of several articles. It is summarized that FE-SEM and SEM is an important method to determine the corrosion inhibition prpoperties and the mechanism of corrosion protection of corrosion inhibitors.
