Regulating localized corrosion rate of acidified ASTM A36 mild steel with Oenothera biennis extracts was carried out using thermometric and Potentiodynamic polarization as experimental techniques. Various parameters of measurements adopted in this study included but not limited to enthalpy of adsorption, entropy of adsorption, Gibbs free energy of adsorption, adsorption parameters, activation energy, collision coefficient, corrosion current density, corrosion potential, inhibition efficiency, cathodic and anodic slope values etc. Results from the research showed that both alkaloid and flavonoid extracts of Oenothera biennis flowers (AEOBF and FEOBF) acted as reliable corrosion inhibitors for ASTM A36 mild steel in HCl medium with inhibition efficiency of 97.6 and 91.4% respectively at lower temperature (303 K) and also at moderately higher temperatures (313 and 323 K). Result from both experiments were in agreement as values for inhibition efficiency for AEOBF were higher compared to those of FEOBF indicating that the adsorption of the alkaloid fraction was stronger than flavonoids. The mechanism of action was physical and the adsorption process was monolayer. Both inhibitors showed very stabled, endothermic, spontaneous and associative reaction process on the ASTM A36 mild steel which made desorption upon agitation at moderate temperatures quite difficult.
