Corrosion inhibitors are known to adsorb to a variety of corrosion product layers. Under conditions of high shear, the fracture of corrosion product scale is one important aspect affecting corrosion. In this paper, molecular mechanics was used to calculate Young’s modulus of a ferrous carbonate (FeCO3) scale. This information was used with existing theory for the fracture mechanics of corrosion product scales to understand the destruction of corrosion by-product layers under conditions of high shear.
