Abstract

The effect of Cymbopogon extracts on the corrosion rates of mild steel X52 in 20 % of solution for H2SO4 has been investigated at 25 °C by potentiodynamic polarization method.


The maximum inhibition efficiency (% Pol) was approximately 96.7 %. As far as we know the anticorrosive behavior of this plant has never been undertaken elsewhere.
