Abstract
Investigation of the corrosion degradation behaviour of mild steel in an admixture of coconut shell and egg shell (CS-ES) based nano-fluid was presented in this study. Mild steel coupons were immersed in different concentrations (nine concentrations and the control as a reference) of the developed nano-fluid for a period of 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 h. Corrosion rate was calculated based on ASTM Standard G1-03 standard practice for preparing, cleaning and evaluation of corrosion test specimens. Open circuit potential measurements (OCP) were also carried out. The potential of the steel samples in the nano-fluid with respect to time was investigated. This dataset could be used in evaluating the performance of mild steel in CS-ES based nano-fluid.
