Brass is widely used as turbine material for cooling system for marine propellers. However, it is vulnerable to corrosion by contact of air or aqueous chloride solution. The essential oil of Myrtus communis (MO) was tested as a brass corrosion inhibitor (Cu70-Zn30) immersed in the 3% NaCl solution, using a polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The effect of MO concentration, temperature and immersion time was studied to evaluate the action of the inhibitor. The results showed that the protection efficiency was enhanced with the increasing of MO concentration, and the potentiodynamic polarization experiment showed that MO acts essentially as a cathodic inhibitor. In addition, experiments have shown that MO inhibition efficiency decreases with increasing immersion time and temperature. The film adsorbed on the brass surface containing MO was confirmed by the results of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The overall results affirmed the potential use of MO as inhibitor agent of brass corrosion in the 3% NaCl solution.
