Corrosion isa destructive phenomenon that affects the beauty of an ‘object, and oftentimes causing structural failure. Corrosion of metas affects its impact on the environment and its economic value [1]. It ‘causes a huge waste of metallic materials which cesults in high e¢o: nomic losses globally. As a consequence ofthis, corrosion has led to significant industrial and academic awareness. Corrosion is a world: wide problem, negatively affecting the advancement of developed and developing counties, According toa study by the National Association ‘of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), in 2011, more than US $2.2 tilion was spent on corrosion. The cost of corrosion in India was estimated to be above US $100 billion, also about US $96 billion was expended on corrosion in South Affica. It was reported that the amount spent on corrosion can be reduced by 35% using the prevailing methods of preventing corrosion (21 ‘Typically, erosion is the degradation of metallic materials by phy seal factors but eorrosion is restricted to harmful attacks on metals only [8]. Most non-metallic materials are susceptible to deterioration by ‘chemical reaction with the immediate environment.

Corresion is restricted to destructive attack on metals by electrochemical and /or chemical attack [2], However, a frequent and effective means of protecting metallic substrates from corrosion occurs when organic coatings are applied. Organic coatings confer metal protection by the eteation ofa protective layer against oxygen so as to reduce the corrosion rate by lowering the presence of corrosion-causing factors ike water hydrogen and oxygen fon on metal surfaces. Although, as a result of the permissiveness of lorganie coatings to water and oxygen, some active ingredients such as Inorganic additives are added to these inhibitors to further hinder the ‘corrosion rate especially once the protective covering has been bres- ched [4,51 Different types of organic compounds have been applied as an in hibitor to form organie coatings. Often times, organic compounds possess significant influence onthe rate at which adsorption occurs on 1a metal surface, hence they can effectively inhibit corrosion. The eff ciency of organic inhibitors is due to the existence of polar Funetions with §, 0 oF N atoms in the molecule, x eleetons, and heteroeylie compounds. Also, the polar function is referred to as the center for the Received 26 Jay 2019; Received in revised form 6 October 2019; Accepted 8 October 2019 ‘Available onlin 13 October 2019, 252-4998/ © 2019 Evie Lid All rights reserved Dr Opens a Inception of the adsorption process [6]. Most synthetic organte in- hibitors have several hazardous effects and controlled environmental regulations, which had made researchers focus on developing cheap, non-toxie and environmentally favorable natural prodcts as corrosion inhibitors. These natural onganie compounds can be synthesized or ‘extracted from @ medicinal plant, aromatic herbs, and spices. Plants ‘extracts are seen as a remarkable source of chemical compounds that ‘ean be extracted easily at a Tow cost and are biodegradable in nature (7). The use of natural produets extracted from leaves, seeds, and roots ‘of plants as a corresion inhibitor has been documented in te literature [8-111 Numerous extracts from plants have been used as corrosion in hibitors this includes Hibiscus sabdarffa, Azadirachia indica, Teferia ‘occidentalis, Ocimum viridis and Garcinia kola extract [12]. Other plant ‘extracts that have been used are succinic acid (13), ascorbic acid (141, ‘aminoacids 15}, Ponnyroyal ol [15], Justicia gendarussa [7] and caffeic ‘acid (171, In previous studies, castor oll has been used as a corrosion inhibitor on mild stee (18-20) as wel as Sesame oil [21,22]. Castor oil has proved to be an efficient inhibitor as a result ofthe presence of @ functional group with 126, The existence of OH groups in fatty acid ‘chains makes the oil unusually polar {19}. AS a result ofthis inhibiive nature, this study was performed to combine the corrosion inhibitive property ofboth ols (sesame and castor oi) ina binary mixture on mild sel. The morphology and compositions ofthe precipitated film on the nil stel surface in brine solutions containing different concentrations ‘ofthe binary inhibitor (sesame and eastor oil) were studied by SEM and FAR analysis. Polarization tests were also carried out 10 examine corrosion inhibition effets at different immersion times. Statistical models such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have been applied to optimize various processes in numerous fields. [23-25]. Response surface methodology’ is a mathematical and statistical tool used to study in dividual and interactional effeets of variables on responses and mostly fitted by polynomial equations such as quadratic, cubic or higher-order functions. Box Behnken design (BBD) was selected from ‘other RSM designs as a result of its efficiency, feasibility, simplicity and also to reduce the numberof test runs required compared o other RSM. ‘design. On the other hand, a computational technique such as ANN imitates biological neural systems like the human brain. RSM and ANN are computer software programs designed to model the correlatic between the independent and dependent variables and are proficient in the modeling of non-linear and complex relationships directly from rave data. The benefit of using ANNs is its capacity to control complex, noisy, incomplete and less constructive data and is ability of parallel processing [25] In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) Box-Behnken ‘design was used to design experimental sets and to investigate the ef fects of main snd interaction of process variables sich as concentration ‘of inhibitor, concentration of the corrosive medium (brine), and time using binary mixture of sesame and castor oil, and the same sets of ‘experimental data was applied for training artificial neural network “The results acquired from both models (RSM and ANN) were compared to ensuce better predictability of inhibition efficiency of the binary in hibitor (sesame and eastor ol) on mild steel in brine solutions 2. Experimental procedures 2.1. Materials 2.1.1.

They were immersed in acetone for 20min to remove grease, washed with distilled water and died in air before immersing in Uhe corrosion medium, 2.1.2. Gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GEMS) 8 ul ofthe binary inhibitor with equal volumes of sesame and eastor oil were sonicated using n-hexane and analyzed by GCMS-QP2010 Plas Shimadzu, Japan equipped with electron impact ionization mass spec trometer. The oven temperature was programmed at 70-280°C at a linear velocity of 49.2em/see and held for a hold-up time of Smin. Other operating conditions are: split ratio 20.0, detector temperature 280 °, injector temperature 250 °C and Helium (99.99%) was used as the cartier gas. 2.1.3. Fourier wansform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) FIR instrument, Shimadzu FTIR-84008 was used 10 perform structural characterization of the binary inhibitor. The functional groups were analyzed inthe range of 750 ~ 4000 em” (wavenumbers), and established by cortelation with the standard peak placement of the groups. 22, Methods 22.1. BBD and ANN optimization and design of experiments using weight loss method | Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Artifical Neural Network (ANN) were applied to give a precise prediction of the correlation between the process input variables (Concentration of brine, Concentration of binary Inhibitor and time) and the output (Inhibition efficiency). Mild steel coupons of 20 x 20 x 3mm size were immersed in 0.5 - 0.9 M of brine, 19-26mg/L of binary inhibitor and 8-21 days as designed by RSM to determine the corrosion rate generated by Box Behnken Design Mita 17 (Fables 1 and 2). Each experimental rum was in tripliate with and without the addition of the binary inhibitor at 27 °C. At the end of the exposure period, the coupons were cleansed and their weight was noted. The following equation by Satapathy [7] was used to determine the percentage inhibition efficiency (IE), 100 Initio tony (1) = (4 ~ a4) 4% : Where M - weight loss of mild stel in uninhibited brine solutions (g) Mz weight loss of mild stee in inhibited brine solutions (3). 22.1.1.

The intemal variables and structure can be configured and determined as desired in the designed simulation. In this study, multilayer normal feed-forward neural network training with QuickProp (QP) learning algorithm was developed using Neural Power version 2.5 (CPCX software, USA. The connection strength between the inputs, hidden and output layers was determined by ANN parameters such as weights and biases 22.2.

The 7 major peaks identified are oleic, stearic, methyl ricinoleate, behenic, palmitic, tundecylenic, and nonadceyclic acid. The most predominant was oleic acid. Other peaks with low retention time are largely plant compounds with low polarity such as lupenol, friedelin, and besitosterol, ete Unsaturated compounds such as oleic steric and palmitic acid have been reported for its corrosion inhibitory properties [271, hence, the binary misture was used to perform corrosion inhibition studies. 3.2, Weight loss measurements Corrosion inhibition occurs as result of surface film stabilization fm the steel. The effect of chemically stable surface-active inhibitors increases the activation energy of iron dissolution reaction, thus red cing the surface available for corrosion [7]. The increase weightloss with time resulted in a corresponding increase in the inhibition eff ciency [28] in the presence and absence of binary inhibitor. This in- dicates that insoluble suxface film was not ereated on the electrode surface during mild stee! corrosion in brine solutions [13 Ie implies thatthe binary inhibitor was frst adsorbed on the surface ofthe elec trode impeding corrosion either by blocking the reaction sites or by altering the mechanism of anodic and eathodie corrosion process [28] ‘Therefore, the inhibitive nature of binary mixture in brine solutions results from electrosatic adsorption of a negatively charged Abundance Time (min) Fig. 8.

The design matrix obtained from the Box Behnken design was utilized forthe ANN training 3.2.1. Molding using Box Behiken design — response surface methodology From the experimental results, an empirical relationship between the response (Inhibition Efficiency) and independent variable (Concentration of brine, Concentration of binary inhibitor and time) in ‘coded terms is expressed in the equation below.

From the results presented in Table 2 it ean be affirmed that there is a good agreement between the experimental values and Box Behnken RSM predicted values, therefore validating the accuracy of the proposed model, The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results were sum: marized by the quadratic model demonstrate the adequacy and sig- nificance ofthe model, presented in Table 3, According to Table 3, the F-value ofthe model (6609.52) indicates that the model is statistically significant [29-21]. The coefficient of ‘determination (R) was determined to be 99.97%, which implies that more than 999% of the experimental data were compatible and only about 0.039% ofthe total variation cannot be described by the mode High R? value implies that the tst variations of 99.97% could be fitted by the model Eq, (4). Adjusted R? i used to calculate the model ade ‘quacy, the fitness of the model as well as to rectify the K? value for sample size and forthe st of terms in the model. A high valle of ad Justed R?

The selection of suitable network architecture, its transfer func- ‘ion, ad its topology is essential forthe successful application of ANN as a ype of transfer funtion used to control the learning rate of @ neural network and its performance. Te number of neurons was in- cited by a heuristic approach involving testing different amounts of neurons and topology until the mean square error (MSE) of the output data was reduced by varying the topology (4:n:3) and the number of neurons (n) used from 7 to 2 [ANN architecture was trained using 1000 as a stopping criterion, ‘The mean square error (MSE) and the coefficient of determination were evaluated to determine the neural network predictive ability.

Experimental analysis of results '3D response surface and contour plots (Figs. 4-6) are the graphi iMustration of the quadratic equations to demonstrate the effect of variables on the responses. From Fig. 4, itean be observed that at low concentration of binary inhibitor and low concentration of rine the Inhibition efficiency achieved was highest. Increasing the concentration Of brine at low concentration of binary inhibitor decreases the inhib tion efficiency, these could be attributed to high concentration brine providing a more corrosive environment for the mild steel and less Concentration of inhibitor is available to slow down the rate of the corrosion process. A high concentration of inhibitor of 23:mg/ L in a brine concentration of 1.1M provides inhibition efficiency of 65% ‘compared tothe same concentration of inhibitor of 23 mg/ Lin lower brine concentration of 07 M with 84% inhibition eficeney.

From Fig. 8, iti ‘obvious thatthe trained neural network has an effective approximated ‘experimental values. The higher predictive capability of the ANN can be ascribed fo its potential to generally approximate the system non- linearity, én contrast to RSM which is limited to second-order degree polynomial [29]. Nevertheless, when the ANN technique is usd it must bbe noted that its predictions are limited tothe range of process factors applied in the training process (29,32) 3.3. Effect of immersion time ‘The variation of inhibition efficiency with immersion time is ilu strated in Figs. 5 and 6. Fig. 5 Mlustrates the changes observed in the experimental inhibition efficiency against immersion time and con- centration of brine. At low brine concentration, the inhibition efiiency Increases with time this was in agreement with previous studies [28,34]. Also, at a high concentration of brine, the inhibition efficiency increases as time increases. A similar occurrence was also experienced in Fig 6. Te inhibition efficiency inereases asthe immersion time was increased at a low concentration of binary inhibitor. Similarly, in creasing the concentration of binary inhibitor to maximum, the in hibition efficiency inereased as the immersion time increased but after 10 days of immersion the inhibition efficiency decreases indicating that the inhibition potential of inhibitors decreased as a function of theit exposure in aid [35]. Overall, for this study, the relative importance of jimmersion time is 17.72% which wns lower than the concentration of brine and concentration of binary inhibitor of 53.26% and 29.02% re spectively (ig. 2) 3.4.

Thus, this type of binary in- hibitor simultaneously aets as anodic and eathodic inhibitorsin a higher concentration of brine solutions The values of anodic and cathode (by and b,) slopes presented in Table 6 were changed significantly as the concentration of inhibitor, this suggests that inhibitor adsorption on the ‘metal surface probably affects the mechanism at which mild ste! dis solves in brine solutions, “Table 6 illustrate that Further addition of inhibitor reduces the corrosion curent in concordance with the concentration of inhibitor ‘sed, The values of corrosion current density were obtained by extra: polation of cathodic Tafel (b,) lines to the respective free corrosion Potential (Ea) [27]. The lowest js Yale was deduced for both concentrations (0.3 and 1.1M brine) at 300mg /1. concentration of binary inhibitor. However, using 0.3M of brine the corrosion current value was lower than in 1.1 M of brine, showing the binary mixture was ‘more effective corrosion inhibitor in 0.3 M of brine solution than 1.1 M brine solution. The bass for mild steel corrosion inhibition of mild stoel {in brine solutions ean be as a result of the resistance values of linear polarization (Rt). The resistance of the mild steel polarization in brine solutions was significantly inereased in the presence of the inhibitor (Table 6) Consequently, corrosion inhibition was realized. On the other hhand,i¢ can be dectared that the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the mild steel surface atthe active eathodie and anodie sites made the Dr Opens a Monts Toey Communica 21 (2019) 100691 ‘Table 6 Kinetic parameters obtained from Tafel los of mild steel immersed in 03M and 1.1 M Brine containing the binary inhibitor.

Inhibitor concentration improves the inhibition efficiency accompanied by a low change in corrosive solu- tions. Larger surface coverage and low rate of adsorption of inhibitor molecules can be adjured by the stated fact. ‘3.8, Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to obtain more {information about the kinetics of mild stel corosion in the presence of the binary inhibitor mixture (sesame and castor oil). The electo- ‘chemical process takes place at the open-circuit potential and was ex ‘amined by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. EIS measure: ments of the mild stel electrode at its open circuit potential were ‘observed after immersing in brine solution alone for 15 min and in the presence of different concentrations of the binary mixture. These ex: periments were performed over a 10k to 10m frequency range. Fig. 10 illustrates the Nyquist plots for mild stool dissolution in unin hibited and inhibited brine solution with different concentrations ofthe binary inhibitor. lt was observed that the width of the Nyquist plots Increased as the concentration of the binary inhibitor increased, in- icating the strengthening of the inhibitive film. Furthermore, the Ny ‘quist plots present imperfect semicircle which accure due tothe rough electrode surface and surface homogeneity [38]. The EIS spectrum re- ‘corded fr mild steel in 1 M brine solution at 27 °C (Fig. 10) showed one ‘depressed capacitive loop. This same ttend was also observed in mild steel immersed in 1M brine containing binary inhibitor (15-30 mg/1). ‘The depressed semicirele with the center under the real axis is a char ‘acteristic behavior ofa solid electrode attributed to the roughness ofthe surface and inhomogeneity ofthe metal cletrodes [7] EIS experiment was performed for mild steel immersed in 1M Brine solution uninhibited and inhibited with binary inhibitor at 27 °C as shown in Fig. 10.

The EIS plots of mild ste! in brine solution uninhibited and Inhibited with the Binary inhibitor at 27 °C showed an inductive Toop in low frequency (LF) region while it displays a depressing capacitive oop at high-frequency region (HE). Thus indicates the occurrence of a Far aie process on free electrode sites, From ES illustrated in Table 7, the charge transfer resistance (Ry) values increases as the concentration of binary inhibitor increase ths indiating the formation intermediates responsible for the anodie controling process from the metal dissol tion and subsequently inhibiting corrosion. twas also observed tha the Re values increase whereas the double-layer capacitance (Gx) values decrease in the presence of the binary inhibitor at diferent con centrations. The inerease in the Re, and decrease in Gy, values in in hibited solutions are due toa rection in local dielectric constant and/ ‘or to an increase inthe thickness of the double layer [39]. These rests imply that the binary inhibitor in this study inhibits mild steel corrosion by adsorbing on the metal/electrode interface [38]. The adsorption of the binary inhibitor on the electrode reduces the electrical capacity because it displaces water molecules and other fons intially adsorbed ‘on the surface. The depletion of this capacity with inereasing binary Inhibitor concentration may be due to the formation of a protective layer at the surface (7). The maximum value of Ra attained was 207.62 em for binary inhibitor at 27 °C. The reslls obtained in this stdy shouted thatthe binary mixture of sesame and castor cil acts as a good coerosion inhibitor at 27 °C in brine solutions. 6, Surface characterization ‘To ascertain whether corrosion inhibition occurs asa result of the formation of a protective lm by the binary inhibitor on the metal surface, SEM images were taken. Fig. 11 illustrates the surface mor phology ofthe SEM analysis of the examined samples. The igure shows the mierogeaph of mild steel examined after exposure 100.5 and 1.1 M of brine solution. The figures reveal the SEM images after immersion, severe damage on the surface occurs asa result of material dissolution starting on grain boundaries located between perlite and ferite. Grain boundaries aro well known to be active sites swhere lattice and dis location defeets accumulate, therefore the deposition of from oxide loxyhydroxide is often initiated on the grain boundaries to be slowly spread evenly on the whole metal surface, The rate at which mild steel degrades depends on the presence of a good protective film on its surface Opt eat.

Conclusion ‘The results presented in this study (weight loss tests, polarization tests, and SEM micrography) demonstrates the use of a binary mitre ‘of sesame and eastor oll a8 a good corrosion inhibitor. Using Minitab Statistical software to determine the weight lose measurements, op ‘imum condition of the independent variable selected by the software for best inhibition efficiency was corrosion inhibition of 86.2% at 0.79% brine concentration, 22.1 mg/L concentration of binary in hibit and at a ime period of 14 days. The polarization studies de- ‘onstrate that binary mixture of sesame and castor oil act as a mixed type inhibitor in moderately low concentration of brine solutions while ‘at high brine concentration it simultaneously aets as anadie and ‘cathodic inhibitors. The study suggests that adsorption of inhibitors on the metal surface probably affects the mechanism at which mild stecl ‘dissolves in brine solutions Declaration of Competing Interest ‘The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to itl ‘ence the work reported in this paper.
