Surface active properties of gelatin and their effect on the electropolishing and corrosion behavior of steel in orthophosphoric acid
Electropolishing behavior of steel was studied in orthophosphoric acid in the presence of gelatin for improving the finish obtained. This was inspected by surface tension measurement and potentiodynamic polarization by measuring the limiting current in solutions containing different concentrations o...

Electropolishing behavior of steel was studied in orthophosphoric acid in the presence of gelatin for improving the finish obtained.

The parameters considered include critical micelle concentration (CMC), maximum surface excess (Гmax), minimum surface area (Amin) and effectiveness (πCMC). Thermodynamic parameters of micellization (ΔGmic, ΔSmic) for gelatin were also calculated. Gelatin records greatest reduction of surface tension (effectiveness, πcmc) and higher minimum area (Amin). This behavior agrees with the highest inhibition efficiency results obtained from a potentiodynamic method.
