The corrosion of industrial metals remains a subject of intensive research because of its far-reaching implications on modern society. Experts in the field of corrosion science and engineering have channeled laudable efforts towards impeding the rate of metallic corrosion in aqueous electrolytes. In recent years, protecting metallic surfaces from the penetration of corrosive ions via the use of organic compounds has gained much attention and acceptance because it is cheap, practical and effective. Several studies have reported the screening of pyridazine compounds as potential inhibitors of industrial metallic corrosion in different corrosive environments. The basis for such screening is related to their possession of nitrogen atoms, aromatic rings and other electronegative functional groups from their various substituents which function as active centers of adsorption onto the metallic substrate. In addition, tested pyridazines have also been reported to be eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable. This paper summarizes reported investigations into the inhibitory capacities of pyridazines using gravimetric technique, electrochemical methods, surface morphological analyses and theoretical approaches. Recent progress and future research directions are also highlighted.
