Beschreibung: In this work, the aqueous Lawsonia inermis extract (LI) is investigated as an economic and green deterioration inhibitive formula for steel alloy 4130 in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions. The water-based extraction process is considered as one of the cheapest techniques for preparation of active ingredients of natural products. These ingredients play an important role in corrosion mitigation of steel alloy 4130 in saline media. This extract was subjected to three different parameters: inhibitor concentration, rotation speed, and temperature in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions. The electrochemical techniques are used to perceive the corrosion behavior, and the obtained results were dedicated to theoretical explorations to assess the features of corrosion inhibition and the adsorption over the steel substrate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions. Affording to the electrochemical techniques of LI showed very promising results against corrosion depending on the inhibitor concentrations. The inhibition efficiency of LI was additionally appraised at three diverse temperatures, and the results disclosed that the inhibition efficiency is decreased. Additionally, the theoretical aspects illuminated that the main active ingredients of LI have a proclivity to coagulate on the steel substrates allowing these areas to paradigm a protecting layer on the steel surfaces. This behavior is in provision of investigational results. Statistical studies were used to examine the consequence of chief constraints (i.e., inhibitor concentration, temperature, and rotation speed) on the inhibition efficiency and the rate of corrosion of steel alloy 4130. The inhibitive effect of LI in contradiction of the corrosion of steel alloy 4130 surfaces is considered by resources of DFT/6-31G(d) calculations. The quantum chemical parameters interrelated to the inhibition efficiency are considered.
