Melamine-benzaldehyde tris-schiff base as an efficient corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.5 molar hydrochloric acid solution: Weight loss, electrochemical, theoretical and surface studies

In the current study, the N,N′,N″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(1-phenylmethanimine) (MBSB) condensation product of melamine (triazine) and benzaldehyde was investigated as a mild steel corrosion inhibitor in a 0.5 M HCl. The ability of the synthesized tris-Schiff base to suppress corrosion was evaluated utilizing weight loss measurements and electrochemical techniques. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 94.78
