The influence of Methionine (MTI) on corrosion behavior of Twinning induced plastic (TWIP) steel in 3.5wt.% NaCl solutions was investigated using electrochemical techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), white light interferometer (WLI) analyses and Raman spectra. With increasing inhibitor concentration, the corrosion inhibition rate first increased and then decreased, and the maximum inhibitor efficiency was found to be 30 mg l −1 MTI. MTI was acting as a mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition effect of MTI could also be evaluated by SEM and WLI results, and the trend was the same as that obtained by electrochemistry. At the same time, Raman spectra results showed that MTI was adsorbed on the surface of the steel.
