Using gravimetric technique, the inhibitory properties of Azadiracta Indica leaf extract for medium carbon steel corrosion were investigated, and inhibition efficiency was calculated. The leaves were gathered and dried before being pulverized to micron size for gravimetric analysis. The leaves were extracted using the reflux ethanol extraction method, and the weight of the leaf removed was calculated. The quantities for various concentrations of the extract were also calculated and applied to the acidic medium, where the medium carbon steel coupons were dipped at four hours intervals for a total of 20 hours. The inhibition efficiency was calculated using the weight loss values for each metal coupon. Weight loss (from 0.1395g to 0.0135g) and corrosion rate (from 0.9700 mm/yr. to 0.1878 mm/yr.) both decreased as the content of the plant extract increased (from 0.0g/L to 0.5g/L). The gravimetric method revealed that Azadiracta Indica leaves extract is an excellent medium carbon steel corrosion inhibitor, with inhibition efficiency increasing from 41 percent to 86 percent as the inhibitor concentration increased. Plant extracts are an excellent corrosion inhibitor due to their availability, biodegradability, low cost, and lack of toxicity to humans and the environment. This study found that Azadiracta Indica leaf extracts, when used in the proper concentration, can extend the service life of medium `carbon steel.
