Abstract
Extracts of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) blended with some intensifier halides like ammonium chloride (AMC) and potassium iodide (PTI) were investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. The corrosion process was monitored in 3.5% \HCl\ by mass loss and electrochemical techniques at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 90
