The phytocompounds responsible for corrosion prevention were extracted using ethanol with Soxhlet apparatus. The effectiveness of the extract as a corrosion inhibitor was evaluated through gravimetric and electrochemical methods, along with surface analysis of the corroded steel samples. This analysis involved the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to examine the specimens with and without addition of the extract as inhibitor. The findings demonstrate that DSLE exhibits notable efficacy as a corrosion inhibitor for MS in an acidic environment. The inhibition efficiency (IE) demonstrates a positive correlation with the concentration of the extract, ultimately reaching a maximum value of 81.4 % at the optimum concentration of 1000 mg/L of the extract investigated.
