Abstract
Abstract Conventional weight loss and thermometric have investigated the inhibitory efficiency of Terminalia catappa on the corrosion of improvised metallic implants. The improvised metallic implant from the fan guard can be employed as a short-time profile implant item for the purpose of implantation and fixation in animals after a comparative study with the standard stainless steel. The GS-MS elucidation of chemical structures indicated the presence of phytochemical constituents responsible for TC's inhibitory capacity. The inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the inhibitor concentration; an implied phenomenon of physical adsorption was proposed for the inhibition of TC. Also, the process followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with very high negative values of the free energy of adsorption. Both the weight loss and thermometric results are in excellent agreement with each other. Quantum chemical parameters associated with the electronic structures of specific components of the exudate supported their inhibiting potentials.
