 A systematic study of the ascorbic acid on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0M solution of Sodium Sulphate (controlsSolution) has been carried out using Mössbauer Spectroscopy. It is observed that the presence of ascorbic acid of strength ≥ 0.1M in corroding media (1.0M solution of sodium sulphate) influences the formation of usual corrosion species like β, γ-FeOOH and Ferrihydrite. It also retards the rate of rust formation.

Keywords:  Ascorbic acid, Mössbauer Spectroscopy,Corrosion species.
