This work evaluates the effectiveness of Schiff base derivatives, namely, 2,2'-((1E,1'E)-((2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(azaneylylidene))bis(methaneylylidene))diphenol (DAMD) and (2-((E)-((3-(((E)-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-2,2dimethylpropyl)imino)methyl)phenoxy) zinc (HDMZ), as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in a 15 % HCl solution. By employing a blend of experimental assessments and theoretical computations, such as electrochemical tests, morphological observations, and theoretical simulations, the study achieved an impressive up to 94.6 % inhibition efficiency.

Experimental findings indicated a slight negative correlation between inhibition efficiencies in 1 M HCl and temperature but a positive correlation with both inhibitor concentration and immersion time, respectively. The weight loss measurement revealed that APMS achieved a maximum inhibition rate of 92.

The anti-corrosion and adsorption characteristics were assessed using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods were used to evaluate the inhibitive performance of the inhibitors on the metal surface.
