Abstract

extracts significantly improved corrosion resistance, with extract type, concentration, and immersion time identified as key variables. This work validates the potential of microalgal formulations as effective green inhibitors and offers a reproducible methodology for the long-term evaluation of bio-based corrosion protection strategies relevant to sustainable materials engineering.
