Abstract
, indicating the spontaneous adsorption of CA molecules onto the AISI 1045 surfaces, forming a protective layer, which was confirmed by SEM/EDX analysis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed a significant correlation with the experimental data, confirming that CA extract is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor.
