Measurements were conducted under various experimental conditions using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation(EFM) techniques. These studies have shown that 8-hydroxy-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde derivatives are very good "green", mixed-type inhibitors. Corrosion rates obtained from both EFM and EIS methods are comparable with those recorded using Tafel extrapolation method, confirming validation of corrosion rates measured by the latter. The inhibitive action of these 8-hydroxy-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde derivatives was discussed in terms of blocking the electrode surface by adsorption of the molecules through the active centers contained in their structures following Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
