Abstract
Hydrochloric acid induced damage of alwninwn alloy in the presence of Cola acuminata extract was
investigated using gasometric technique. Alwninwn alloy coupons of dimension 4 em by 1 em were immersed
in test solutions of free acid and also those containing extract concentrations of 2-5 cm3 at ambient temperature
for 30 min. The volwnes of hydrogen gas evolved as a result of the reaction rate were recorded and analyzed.
The outcome revealed that maximwn inhibitor efficiency which corresponds to the lowest corrosion rate was
obtained at optimwn inhibitor concentration with reduction in the corrosion rate observed to follow in order
of increasing extract concentration. The mechanism of interaction between the phytochemicals in the plant
extract and ahnninlllll alloy swface was best described by the Fnnnkin isotherm with 6 and 14 min becoming the
best exposure time for the phytochemicals in extract concentrations of 3-5 cm3 to suitably adsorb to metal alloy
surface. Statistically modeling the corrosion rate yielded a significant relationship suitable for estimating
corrosion rate values once concentration of the extract is known. In addition, the superficial analysis revealed
that crack growth rate slowed do\Vll and irregular intermetallic phases were more mriform as extract
concentration increased.
