Corrosion Rates of Mild Steel in Alkaline Lithium Bromide Solutions by the Polarization Resistance Method^★ Available to Purchase

This is an electrochemical evaluation of a chemical inhibitor on the corrosion behavior of mild steel (ASTM A-414) in solutions containing 54 percent lithium bromide and 0.2 percent lithium hydroxide at 25 C (77 F). Inhibiting effects of lithium chromate at concentrations up to 3000 ppm were studied. Results are analyzed in terms of corrosion current determined from polarization resistance measurements and cathodic and anodic polarization slopes. These are compared with weight loss measurements.
