Korosi dapat terjadi pada setiap logam, termasuk logam kuningan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan selongsong amunisi. Salah satu cara menghambat korosi adalah dengan menggunakan inhibitor korosi yang dibuat menggunakan bahan-bahan organik. Daun jambu biji (Psidium guajava) mengandung senyawa tanin sebagai penghambat terjadinya korosi. Dalam penelitian ini, kuningan yang digunakan adalah selongsong dari amunisi MU-2TJ kaliber 7,62 mm produksi PT. Pindad pada tahun 1992 dan 1994. Laju korosi dihitung dengan metode pengukuran berat hilang. Preparasi inhibitor ekstrak daun jambu biji dilakukan dengan metode maserasi, daun jambu biji kering 10 gram dilarutkan dalam pelarut air-etanol 100 mL dengan variasi perbandingan volume air : etanol berturut-turut 7:3, 6:4 dan 5:5. Kuningan dengan inhibitor dan tanpa inhibitor direndam selama 15 hari atau 360 jam dalam media larutan HCl dan CH3COOH. Hasil menunjukan bahwa dalam media CH3COOH, effisiensi inhibitor terbesar adalah 42,12 % dengan menggunakan inhibitor ekstrak daun jambu biji dengan perbandingan volume air : etanol 6:4 dalam larutan CH3COOH 0,1 M dimana laju korosi kuningan tanpa inhibitor diperoleh 4,34x10-6 mpy dan laju korosi dengan inhibitor 2,51x10‑6 mpy. Dalam media HCl, efisiensi inhibitor terbesar adalah 7,52 % dengan menggunakan inhibitor ekstrak daun jambu biji dengan perbandingan 5:5 dalam larutan HCl 0,05 M, laju korosi kuningan tanpa inhibitor diperoleh 4,81 x10-6 mpy, dan laju korosi dengan inhibitor 4,45x10‑6 mpy.Corrosion can occur in any metal, including brass metal as raw material for making ammunition casing. One way to inhibit corrosion is to use corrosion inhibitors which can be made using organic materials. Guava leaf (Psidium guajava) contain tannin compounds as corrosion inhibitors. In this study, the brass used was the casing of the MU-2TJ ammunition caliber 7.62 mm produced by PT. Pindad in 1992 and 1994. Corrosion rate was calculated by the method weight loss. Inhibitor preparation of guava leaf extract was carried out by maceration method, where 10 grams of dried guava leaf were dissolved in 100 mL water-ethanol solvent with various volume ratios of water : ethanol 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5, respectively. Brass with inhibitor and without inhibitor was immersed for 15 days or 360 hours in HCl and CH3COOH solution media. . The results showed that in CH3COOH media, the largest inhibitor efficiency was 42.12% by using guava leaf extract inhibitor with a ratio of volume water : ethanol 6:4 in CH3COOH 0.1 M solution, where the corrosion rate of brass without inhibitors is 4.34x10-6 mpy and the corrosion rate of brass with inhibitors is 2.51x10-6 mpy. In HCl media, the largest inhibitor efficiency was 7.52% by using guava leaf extract inhibitor with a ratio of volume water : ethanol 5:5 in HCl 0.05 M solution, where the corrosion rate of brass without inhibitors is 4.81x10-6 mpy and the corrosion rate of brass with inhibitors is 4,45x10-6 mpy.
