ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze the corrosion rate and the efficiency of bay leaf (Eugenia Polyantha L) extract as an inhibitor at concentrations of 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% on ST-37 steel in a peat water medium. The bay leaf extract was prepared using a maceration method, and the solvent was separated using a rotary evaporator. ST-37 steel specimens, measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm, were im…
