The behaviour of a corrosion inhibitor based on proplolis extract via an iron alloy immersed in an electrolyte containing ethylene glycol water in NaCl 0.1 M was evaluated by a stationary technique not destructive which is the technique of electrochemical impedance. The diameter of the Nyquist curves increases with the increase of the concentration of propolis extract and it reaches an optimum concentration at 1.25 g / L, the maximum surface coverage percent at this concentration is 71.98% .The activation parameters reveal that the inhibitor molecules on iron surface are absorbed by physisorption and a chimisorption and obey Langmuir isotherm adsorption. These results were supplemented by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and (EDX) spectrum of chemical composition. The metal solution interface is simulated as a physical model by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Keywords: Iron Alloy, Propolis extract, ethylene glycol;, Lamgmuir isotherm, Electrochemical impedance Spectroscopy (EIS).

Extract ofFicus exasperataleaves was investigated as corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 N H2SO4using conventional weight loss, electrochemical polarizations, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopic studies. The weight loss results showed that the extract ofFicus exasperatais excellent corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical polarizations data revealed the mixed mode of inhibition. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, with the change in concentration of the extract is due to the adsorption of active molecules leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. Scanning electron microscopic studies provided the confirmatory evidence of improved surface condition, due to the adsorption, for the corrosion protection.
