This study evaluated the corrosion inhibition performance of Dracaena fragrans extract for SAE 1025 steel in artificial seawater. Inhibition efficiency was assessed using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that inhibition efficiency increased with higher extract concentrations, reaching a maximum of 97% at 500 ppm. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated that the extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor, affecting both anodic and cathodic reactions. EIS analysis revealed an increase in charge transfer resistance and a decrease in double-layer capacitance, confirming the formation of a protective adsorbed film on the steel surface. Adsorption studies indicated that the process followed the Frumkin isotherm and was predominantly governed by physisorption, with a standard Gibbs free energy of adsorption $∆G_{ads}^{°}$ of approximately −12.33 kJ mol⁻¹. Surface analyses confirmed enhanced protection of the steel substrate in the presence of the extract. Moreover, toxicity tests yielded a germination index (GI) of 35.1% and a relative germination (RG) of 45.6% at 500 ppm. These findings demonstrate the potential of Dracaena fragrans extract as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for steel exposed to chloride-containing environments in marine and aeronautical applications.
