EXTENDED ABSTRACT: The latest developments in the field of experimental and computational screening of magnesium corrosion inhibitors will be presented. The overview will be given of high-throughput experimental methods [ 1 ], including recently developed techniques of image analysis and recognition. The pitfalls of this new approach have been uncovered by topographic and classical volume loss validation. New, larger than ever experimental database, composed of over 200 individual compounds, all tested at identical experimental conditions, has been collected. Three different approaches to quantification of inhibition efficiency will be compared in terms of linearity of the values of diverse datasets. The extensive experimental databases serve as input to train quantitative structure-property relationship models, employing machine learning and other AI algorithms. The models then predict effective corrosion inhibitors among hitherto untested potent commercially available compounds [2-4]. The importance of scientific data sharing will be highlighted. Following the best practices for uniform data reporting makes data sharing more efficient. A newly set corrosion inhibitor database incorporating over 2400 individual compounds for a variety of metallic substrates will be demonstrated.
