The use of inhibitors is one of the most effective ways to control corrosion. The study aims to determine and examine more deeply the effect of variations in the concentration of organic inhibitors from Moringa leaf extract on the corrosion rate of A36 steel material in seawater media. Moringa leaf extract's effectiveness in inhibiting the corrosion rate of A36 steel material in seawater media is also determined. This research was conducted by immersing specimens with inhibitor concentrations of 0 ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 300 ppm, 400 ppm, and 500 ppm for seven days of immersion. The corrosion rate is calculated using the weight loss method. The results showed that the corrosion rate decreased with the inhibitor concentration in the corrosion media. The inhibitor concentration of 500 ppm Moringa leaf extract was able to inhibit the corrosion rate optimally. It is indicated by the smallest corrosion rate value of 1.07 mpy. On the other hand, the inhibitor efficiency increases with the inhibitor concentration in the corrosion media. The highest inhibitor efficiency was 78.71% at the addition of 500 ppm inhibitor to the solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
