Samples of steels BSt. 1-KP, St. 35, St. 3, and Kh181OT were investigated over the temperature 20 to 80/sup 0/C for corrosion in 200 g/l sulfuric acid and in hydrochloric acid. A corrosion inhibitor, 1,4-butynediol at 2.5 g/l was also added to these mixtures, simultaneously. A gravimetric method was used for evaluation, and the length of exposure was 2 h. An investigation into the corrosion protection at (80/sup 0/C) afforded to St. 3 in sulfuric acid by the inhibitor indicates that its action is more effective in this medium than it is in hydrochloric acid. A similar relationship is observed for Kh181OT steel, but the inhibitor is more effective. Data for dependence of the corrosion rate and optimum concentration of the inhibitor on temperature, is presented for the various steel samples. The activation energy is reduced in the presence of the inhibitor, indicating chemisorption and a diffusion mechanism. 4 references, 4 figures, 4 tables.
