Abstract:
The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor comprising cellulose nanocrystals. According to another aspect, there is provided a corrosion-inhibiting agent essentially consisting of a plurality of cellulose nanocrystals. The above set out cellulose nanocrystals may be in free form, such as acid-form cellulose nanocrystals, in one embodiment and added to a carrier. The cellulose nanocrystals may be effective in inhibiting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a corrosion-inhibiting composition comprising a corrosion inhibitor and the above set out corrosion-inhibiting agent in an effective combination to inhibit corrosion of metals. The composition may be effective in inhibiting ferrous metals when the cellulose nanocrystals are in either salt or free form. The composition may be effective in inhibiting corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals when the cellulose nanocrystals are in free form.
Abstract:
Pitting corrosion of stainless steel occurs in solutions of organic acid, such as tartaric acid, in an electrolyte solution with methanol. However, methanolic solutions containing at least one organic halide and at least one organic hydroxyacid and some water provide reduced pitting corrosion of stainless steel. The organic hydroxyacid may be a hydroxy acid containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with at least one hydroxyl group and at least one carboxylic acid group, in a non-limiting example, glycolic acid. The pH of the methanolic solution may range from about 3.5 to about 8.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a method of inhibiting corrosion-erosion in pipelines carry slurries. The method includes contacting for a period of at least 1 hour an inner surface of the pipeline with a composition of matter, the composition being at least one corrosion inhibitor within a water solvent, purging the pipeline of the water, and then transporting a slurry through the pipeline. This method is surprisingly effective because it prevents erosion with materials that were previously known to not have any effect on erosion. In addition it is effective on especially hard slurries such as bauxite for which previous uses of these inhibitors did not prevent erosion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a polyesteramine or a polyester polyquaternary ammonium compound as a corrosion inhibitor for metal surfaces, and to a method for protecting a metal surface from corrosion by contacting the metal surface with said corrosion inhibitor.
Abstract:
Disclosed are quaternary ammonium salts containing non-halogen anions such as carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, glycolates and mixtures thereof as conversion coatings or additives imparting anti-corrosive properties to paints. The invention relates to a method for inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces by applying a composition containing one or more quaternary ammonium carbonate or bicarbonate. The disclosure is also directed to anti-corrosive coatings for metal substrates containing these compounds and to metal substrates having these anticorrosive coatings.

Abstract:
An additive for an aqueous metalworking fluid (MWF) comprises a C12-20 fatty acid neutralized with at least one of an amine, alkanolamine and a caustic. The additive is designed for use in an aqueous MWF having a pH of at least about 7 and comprising at least about 0.10 weight percent, based on the weight of the MWF, of the neutralized C12-20 fatty acid. The additive inhibits the staining of ferrous and nonferrous metals during and after machining.
