The Inhibitive Effect Of Alanine On Corrosion Of Aluminium In 0.5 M Hcl Solution Using The Weight Loss Technique

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY  1.1.1 CORROSION  Corrosion is defined as a natural process, which converts refined metal to their more stable oxide. It is the gradual destruction or degradation of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment which are most likely inevitable. Corrosion is a natural and costly process of destruction like earthquakes, tornados, floods and vocanic eruptions, with one major difference. Whereas we can be only a silent spectator to the above processes of destruction, corrosion can be prevented or at least be controlle…
