Abstract: The conventional mass-loss tests and the electrochemical techniques were used t o study the inhibition action of LiOH and Na₂MoO₄ either individually or in different combination for copper-nickel alloy in boiling 65%LiBr solution. It indicates that the corrosion rate of copper-nickel is decreased when LiOH or Na₂MoO₄ is added to the solution individually. LiOH concentration has a double-effect on the corrosion behavior of copper-nickel. Low concentration is benefit to forming oxide film. High concentration results in dissolution of oxide film. The optimal concentration of LiOH is 0.15mol/L. The dissolution of copper-nickel is effectively prevented when adding 200mg/L Na₂MoO₄ to boiling 65%LiBr solution with 0.15mol/L LiOH. The inhibition mechanism is considered that the films of Cu, Ni, Mo oxides and deposited nonprotective in soluble CuBr on the surface of metal could prevent Br^- ion from absorption, which prevent alloy dissolving.
