This document discusses the methodology for an experimental study that will test the effectiveness of Mabolo fruit extract as a corrosion inhibitor for steel metal bars. The study will use 15 steel bars that will be distributed randomly among 5 treatments: a commercial primer product, water, and various concentrations of Mabolo extract. The bars will be weighed before and after exposure to the treatments to determine corrosion rates. One-way ANOVA and independent t-tests will be used to analyze if treatments differ significantly.

This chapter describes and discusses the various part of research, which includes the gathering of materials, experimental research design, test specimens, collection of data and statistical tools used to determine the effectiveness of the experimental variables. Research Method The research study titled, “Mabolo (Diospyros blancoi) Fruit Extract as Corrosion Inhibitor for Steel Metal Bars” will use an experimental type of research. As stated by Poole (2012), as a subset of scientific investigation, experimental research design is a popular and widely used research approach. It has the essence of conducting experiments with precision with which one can analyze the relationship between and among variables and to make that analysis as objective as possible. In testing the effectiveness of the experimental variables in this study, experimental design will be used to minimize the ambiguity and attempt to eliminate confusion in the process of collecting data. It will rely on testing the relationship between and among variables; generally speaking, one variable, the independent variable, is controlled in order to measure its effect on other, dependent, variables (Maurer & Fichtner, 2017). Sampling Design The researcher used a total of fifteen (15) steel metal bars bought at the Lumber Shop in San Isidro, Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija measuring 25 m long with a width of 9x9 mm weighing 14-15g of the same kind in accordance with purposive selection in which the metals were manually chosen if they have the same conditions, weight and sizes as test specimens. The metal bars will be distributed to different replications of treatment using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to increase the precision of the experiment. Because the weight of the metal increases when rusting (Gupta, 2010), the metal bars will be weighted prior to undergoing the experiment which will be collected as an initial data. This study entitled “Mabolo (Diospyros blancoi) Fruit Extract as Corrosion Inhibitor for Steel Metal Bars” used the research outline of experimental way to test the effectiveness of Mabolo fruit in reducing the corrosion rate of steel metal bars. The researchers will use One-Way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to determine if there is a significant difference among treatments and T-Test for Independent sample to test whether there is a significant difference between the experimental treatment with the greatest effect and the commercial product. Gathering of Materials Before making this study, the researchers will gather the following materials: 200g Mabolo (D. blancoi) fruits, fifteen (15) 25 x 9x9 mm steel metal square bars, fifteen (15) small 3.5oz plastic tupperwares, 1L of distilled water, ten (10) filter papers, three (3) 100mL beaker, five (5) sterilized containers, 1L of ethanol, 1L of muriatic acid, three (3) pairs of disposable surgical gloves, digital weighing scale, and 1L of commercial product, Primer. Extraction of Mabolo Fruits After being subjected to plant identification, the Mabolo fruit will be prepared for ethanol extraction. For the extraction of the plant extract samples, first, the Mabolo will be washed thoroughly with tap water, and waited for it to dry. Second, the fruits will undergo oven-drying for four (4) minutes and will be subjected to pulverization when its brittle (Kulshrestha & Karbhal, 2012). Next, it will be soaked into three hundred (300mL) of ethanol for twenty-four (24) hours, it will be stored into a container overnight so that the ethanol evaporates. Lastly, the extracts will be filtered using a filter paper to remove unwanted residues. (Abdulrahman et. al, 2011). The extracts obtained by the researchers were put into clean sterilized container. Experimental Treatments The collected Mabolo fruits will be separated into three (3) to produce the experimental treatment of the study. The prior treatments, Treatment 1 and 2 will be the control treatments and the following treatments are made with the plant extract sample. Table 1 shows the experimental treatments of Mabolo fruits extract. As shown in the table, there are five treatments that are each replicated thrice in the study; Treatment 1 (positive control) is the commercial product, Primer, Treatment 2 (negative control) is 30 mL distilled water, Treatment 3 is 30 mL of Mabolo fruit extract, Treatment 4 is 21 mL Mabolo fruit extract and 9 mL distilled water, and Treatment 5 is 15 mL Mabolo fruit extract and 15 mL distilled water. Application of Treatments Prior to the experiment, the metal bars are weighted for its initial weight. The fifteen (15) steel metal bars will then be immersed in their respective treatments for twenty-four (24) hours in a plastic Tupperware. Afterwards, the test specimens will be applied with muriatic acid, and the metal bars will be left to dry for forty-eight (48) hours to rust. For the last part of the procedure, the weight of the test specimens will be collected as final data. The study will be conducted with five treatments. Two (2) of the five treatments were positive and negative control. The positive control was done with the use of Primer, while the negative control treatment was done with the use of distilled water, and the last three treatments were done with the use of different concentrations of plant extract samples. Statistical Tool This study entitled “Mabolo (Diospyros blancoi) Fruit Extract as Corrosion Inhibitor for Steel Metal Bars” used the research outline of experimental way to test the effectiveness of Mabolo fruit in reducing the corrosion rate of steel metal bars. The researchers will use One-Way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) to determine if there is a significant difference among treatments and T-Test for Independent sample to test whether there is a significant difference between the experimental treatment with the greatest effect and the commercial product.
