The examination of corrosion prevention effectiveness in various media demonstrates how the chemical properties of carbon steel can result in potent engineering uses. In this study, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the Sodium Molybdate-Zn²+ system on carbon steel in seawater was evaluated using the weight loss method. The results of AC impedance investigations and surface analysis methods such as FTIR, AFM, and luminescence spectroscopy provide the basis of this study's mechanistic elements. Because zinc ions are believed to be efficient corrosion inhibitors for the protection offered by a cathodic polarization process, they have been used in this study. Together, Zn²+ and sodium molybdate stop carbon steel from corroding when it is submerged in seawater.
