The potential of sebacic acid as a corrosion inhibitor for hot‐dip galvanized steel in 0.1 M NaCl solution has been investigated. Different concentrations of the organic acid have been tested in order to understand the inhibition mechanism of the compound. The electrochemical test revealed a competitive mechanism between the dissolution of the metal in the acidified solution and the inhibition provided by the dicarboxylic species. The formation of a whitish layer consisting of zinc carboxylates and corrosion products was proved by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation combined with Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) analysis. A bidentate bridging coordination between the Zn(II) and the carboxylic species is suggested.
