A coated metal sheet is provided. The coated metal sheet includes a steel substrate, a metal coating on at least one face of the steel substrate, the metal coating comprising at least 40% by weight of zinc; and a layer coating an outer surface of the metal coating, the layer including an amino acid in a neutral or salt form, the amino acid being selected from among alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, lysine, methionine, proline, serine, threonine, or of a mixture thereof, the amount of said amino acid or of said mixture being from 0.1 to 200 mg/m.sup.2, and optionally a base or a mixture of bases, or an acid or a mixture of acids.

Disclosed are corrosion inhibitor compounds and compositions useful for preventing or inhibiting corrosion of surfaces found in cooling water applications. In some embodiments, the surfaces may include mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, galvanized steel, a copper alloy, admirality brass, or any combination thereof. Also disclosed are methods of using the compounds and compositions as corrosion inhibitors. In some embodiments, the corrosion inhibitor compounds and compositions are used in cooling water applications.

A corrosion inhibiting composition includes a first plurality of carriers and a second plurality of carriers. The first plurality of carriers has a first carrier body which encapsulates a film-forming compound. The second plurality of carriers has a second carrier body encapsulates a corrosion inhibitor. Each of the first and second carrier bodies is formed of a degradable material. Coatings and methods for inhibiting corrosion on a metal substrate are also described herein.

An aminoalkyl imidazolines of the formula: ##STR00001##
having p-octyloxy-, p-dodecyloxy-, or p-octadecyloxy-phenyl pendants as hydrophobes, for use to mitigate mild steel corrosion. An electron-rich aromatic ring, in conjugation with an amidine motif, imparts increasing corrosion inhibition efficiencies with an increasing hydrophobe chain length. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the formation of an aminoalkyl imidazoline film on a metal surface prior to reaching a critical molar concentration.

Methods and compositions are disclosed for inhibiting corrosion on metal surfaces of gas turbine air compressors. The methods comprise contacting the metal surfaces with a corrosion inhibiting composition comprising at least one filming amine.

A water soluble metalworking concentrate is a combination of one or more amines; one or more ferrous corrosion inhibitors; one or more phosphate esters; one or more ether carboxylates; a ricinoleic acid condensate; one or more lubricating agents; deionized water and, optionally, one or more non-ferrous corrosion inhibitors. In use, the concentrate is diluted to a concentration of approximately 5% to approximately 10%. In use, the metalworking fluid exhibits excellent lubricity, low foam generation, emulsion stability, protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, biostatic stability and environmental compatibility.

A laminate includes a layer containing a polyaniline-based polymer and a phenoxy-based resin, and a layer containing zinc and/or a zinc alloy, a laminate includes, in sequence, a layer containing a polyaniline-based polymer and a phenoxy-based resin, a layer containing zinc and/or a zinc alloy, and an aluminum or aluminum alloy layer. A rust prevention method includes forming a layer containing a polyaniline-based polymer and a phenoxy-based resin on a layer containing zinc and/or a zinc alloy or on a layer containing zinc and/or a zinc alloy disposed on an aluminum or aluminum alloy layer. The laminates and the rust prevention method are for reducing the formation of rust on the layer containing zinc and/or the zinc alloy or the aluminum or aluminum alloy layer for a long period of time.
