Swati Yadav, Arpita Sharma, Guddi Choudhary, Monika, Alka Sharma

The inhibition potential of Azadirachita indica fruit extract on the corrosion of copper immersed in 0.5 N HCl at the room temperature (30°C) was investigated by the help of weight loss method. From the weight loss values, corrosion rates were determined. In the results obtained, the fruit extract, in hydrochloric acid medium, gave its best corrosion inhibition performance at 1.052 g/L extract concentration. The corrosion, kinetic and adsorptive parameters were calculated.
