摘要:The inhibitive action of Avogado Nuts Extract (ANE) on C38 steel in 1M HCl solution was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The extracts were found to inhibit the corrosion of C38 steel in 1M HCl. The inhibition efficiency increased with the extracts concentration. Polarization curves reveal that ANE is a mixed type inhibitor with predominant cathodic effectiveness. Changes in impedance parameters (charge transfer resistance, Rt, and double-layer capacitance, Cdl) were indicative of adsorption of ANE on the metal surface, leading to the formation of a protective film. The effect of the temperature on the corrosion behaviour with addition of the optimal concentration of ANE was studied in the temperature range 298 – 328 K. The inhibition efficiency of the plant extract remain slightly constant with increasing temperature. Adsorption of ANE on the C38 steel surface is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Some thermodynamic functions of dissolution process were also determined
