Abstract
Rapid industrialization has led to the onset of increased
utilization of steel in various industries. Their encounter with
aqueous corrosive environment in industrial application
makes them susceptible to corrosion. This has lead to the
search of better and efficient protection methods for the
prevention of corrosion. A global phenomenon, corrosion
manifests in various forms and the losses due to corrosion are
enormous. Application of inhibitors to prevent corrosion is a
widely accepted form of protection as it is one of the easily
available methods. In recent years the usage of natural
products as corrosion inhibitors is gaining momentum due to
environmental considerations. In this direction, the present
review highlights the role of phyto-chemical constituents
present in the plant extracts on different types of steel in
various media.
