Abstract: In this study, the inhibition effect of BESB6 Schiff base on carbon steelX52corrosion in 0.5 M HCl solution was studied. For this aim, electrochemicaltechniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, weight loss (WL) wereused. It was shown that, the BESB6 schiff base has remarkable inhibition efficiencyon the corrosion of carbon steel in 0.5 M HCl solution. Polarization measurementsindicated that, the studied inhibitor acts as mixed type corrosion inhibitor withpredominantly control of cathodic reaction. The inhibition efficiency depends on theconcentration of inhibitor and reaches 95% at.001M BESB6. The remarkableinhibition efficiency of BESB6 was discussed in terms of blocking of electrodesurface by adsorption of inhibitor molecules through active centers. The adsorptionof BESB6 molecules on the carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorptionisotherm.
