Abstract
Certain metal surfaces are often unable to be contacted effectively with fluids containing hydrofluoric acid due to significant corrosion issues. Steel surfaces represent but one example. Corrosion inhibitor compositions comprising an N-(phosphonoalkyl)iminodiacetic acid or any salt thereof can be used to suppress corrosion of steel surfaces, including those that contain multiple types or grades of steel. Methods for suppressing corrosion of a steel surface can comprise: contacting a steel surface with a corrosive environment, the corrosive environment comprising hydrofluoric acid; exposing the steel surface to a corrosion inhibitor composition, the corrosion inhibitor composition comprising an N-(phosphonoalkyl)iminodiacetic acid or any salt thereof; and suppressing corrosion of the steel surface being contacted with the corrosive environment through exposure to the corrosion inhibitor composition.
