Corrosion inhibition effect of Allium sativum extracts on mild steel in HCl and H2SO4
The effect of Allium sativum(garlic) extract as a ‘green’ inhibitor on mild steel corrosion in 0.5M HCl and 0.5M H2SO4 was studied at ambient temperature. Weight loss/corrosion rate and potentiostatic polarization measurement techniques were used for the experimental work. Potentiostatic polarization measurement was performed using a potentiostat (Autolab PGSTAT 30 ECO CHIMIE) interfaced...
