Chemically pure sodium tungstate is a good inhibitor for carbon steel in simulated seawater, and the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of inhibitor concentration, and the adsorption of sodium tungstate onto the surface of carbon steel followed the amended Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. Composite of sodium tungstate and SLS has better corrosion performance than that of sodium tungstate alone, which shows excellent synergistic effect. Compound inhibitor has higher efficiency, with lower Tafel slope on the cathode and anode and…
