Abstract: Corrosion of metal workpieces by water-based synthetic metalworking fluids is inhibited by a small but effective amount of a corrosion inhibitor consisting essentially of a molybdate compound and a compound selected from the group consisting of nitrites, borates, alkanolamines, amine borates, amine salts of unsaturated fatty acids, alkanolamine sarcosinates, alkanolamine phosphates, and alkali, morpholine, and alkanolamine salts of arylsulfonamido carboxylic acids.

Abstract: A process and a composition for inhibiting corrosion of metal parts in water systems such as in recirculating cooling towers and the like, while additionally suppressing scale formation and inhibiting corrosion of copper and copper-containing alloys which comprises adding and dissolving in the aqueous system, a controlled combination of active constituents in effective amounts comprising as essential constituents, an alkali molybdate salt, a divalent metal cation selected from the group consisting of ZN.sup.++, Mn.sup.++ and Ni.sup.++ ; 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and the aqueous soluble alkali salts thereof; and an organic agent selected from the group consisting of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and the alkali salts thereof; 1,2,3-benzotriazole, and tolyltriazole.

Abstract: A method for preparing an extended corrosion inhibiting pigment for use in formulating protective coatings for ferrous substrates in which a particulated inert carrier is slurried in an aqueous solution in the presence of molybdic oxide, to which a metal oxide of zinc, calcium, strontium and/or barium is added in a manner to effect a deposition of the corresponding metal molybdate on the carrier particles, whereafter the coated carrier is separated, dried and calcined at an elevated temperature.
