The corrosion behaviour of AISI 316L stainless steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing various concentrations of dimethyl benzodimidazole (BZD) as corrosion inhibitor was investigated. Inhibition efficiency was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques. 40 ppm of BZD showed the best behaviour at 25 °C, above this concentration the efficiency was decrease. All results were compared with imidazole as inhibitor as same conditions, founded a similar performance at 40 ppm. Both inhibitors showed absorptions on the stainless steel surface which obeyed the Frumklin isotherm adsorption equation.
