Comparative analysis evaluates the corrosion inhibition efficiency of milk thistle parts in mild steel, suggesting a green alternative to chemical agents.
Key Points
The study finds an inhibition efficiency of 95.5% for seeds extract in mild steel corrosion.
Effective inhibition is linked with phytochemical variations across different parts of Silybum marianum.
Analysis utilized potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for evaluation.
Findings suggest these plant extracts can serve as eco-friendly substitutes for conventional anti-corrosive agents.
