... is to appraise the anti-corrosion potential of selected amino acids on magnesium corrosion in sodium chloride solutions. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion inhibition of magnesium in aqueous solutions in the presence of benign, eco-friendly and readily available amino acids (alanine, arginine...

...) at different experimental conditions were in high agreement and almost similar. This is an indication that the EFM technique can be used efficiently for monitoring the corrosion inhibition under the studied conditions. Amino acids are from a class of organic compounds that are completely soluble in aqueous...
