The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the corrosion and wear protection of a steel substrate by epoxy vinyl ester nanocomposite coatings with Zn and TiO2 nanoparticle fillers. Steel substrates were coated with epoxy vinyl ester nanocomposites, varying Zn and TiO2 nanofiller concentrations and combinations of both nanoparticles. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by salt spray fog test during 480h, according to ASTM B-117. The degree of damage was obtained quantitatively by measuring the enhancement in corroded area compared to the scribe mark. Tribological evaluation was performed with a ball-on-disk tribotester, according to ASTM G-99. Results showed that the combination of Zn and TiO2 nanofillers in an epoxy vinyl ester coating provide a synergistic effect, enhancing corrosion protection due to their combined corrosion and tribological reducing mechanisms.

AbstractThis article reports on the corrosion and wear resistance of Ni-P and Ni-P-PTFE nanocomposite coatings deposited on mild steel substrates using the electroless plating technique. The coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The coatings were smooth and had thicknesses between 7 and 23 µm. They contained Ni, P, and additionally, F, in the case of the Ni-P-PTFE films. A broadening of the Ni peak in XRD was attributed to the amorphous nature and/or fine grain size of the films. Corrosion resistance was measured using immersion and electrochemical polarization tests in 3.5% NaCl solution whereas wear resistance was determined by the pin-on-disc method. Both Ni-P and Ni-P-PTFE coatings exhibited significant improvement in corrosion (in salty media) and wear behavior. Furthermore, the addition of PTFE in the coatings showed improvement in their corrosion resistance as well as a reduction in friction coefficient. Our testing revealed that the coatings’ wore out following the “adhesive type” mechanism.

Recently, self-healing coating is classified as one of the smart coatings which has the ability to heal or repair damage of the coating to prevent further corrosion. The aim of this study is to synthesize the self-healing coatings from polymeric material and evaluate the performance and their corrosion behavior when coated on steel substrates. The corrosion tests were performed using immersion test and salt spray test method at room temperature. The immersion test shows that self-healing coating gives lower corrosion rate compared to pure epoxy paint, with a value of 0.02 and 0.05 mm/year respectively. Also, salt spray test shows similar trend as the immersion test, which is 0.11 and 0.19 mm/year for self-healing coating and pure epoxy paint respectively. While uncoated samples without any protection corroded at 0.89 mm/year. It was also found that the damage on self-healing coating was covered with zeolite from the microcapsules indicating that the self-healing agent was successfully synthesized and could function well. In other words, self-healing coating shows better corrosion resistance compared to the pure epoxy coating on steel substrate.

In current investigation, the Ni-P-W/ZrO2 electroless nanocomposite coatings are deposited upon mild steel substrate (AISI 1040 grade). The W/ZrO2 nanoparticles (50 to 130 nm range) were incorporated separately into acidic electroless Ni-P matrix as a second phase materials. The as-plated EL Ni-P-W/ZrO2 depositions were also heated at 400 οC in Argon atmosphere for one hour duration and analyzed by SEM/EDAX and XRD physical methods. The Ni-P-W/ZrO2 as-plated coupons revealed nebulous type structures while heated coupons showed crystalline structures in both cases. Furthermore Ni-P-ZrO2 coatings have very less cracks and gaps as compared to Ni-P-W coatings. The corrosion tests result in peracid (0.30 ± 0.02 % active oxygen) solutions point up that corrosivity of peracid ( 500 ppm Cl) is more than peracid (0 ppm Cl) and corrosion resistance of tested coupons varies as Ni-P-ZrO2 (as-plated) > Ni-P-ZrO2 (heated) > Ni-P-W (as-plated) > Ni-P-W (heated) > MS. The utilization of Ni-P-ZrO2 nanocomposite coatings in peracid solutions can be considered a cost effective option on the basis of its better cost/strength ratio in addition to its fair corrosion resistance.

Stainless steel is renowned for its wide use as a biomaterial, but its relatively high corrosion rate in physiological environments restricts many of its clinical applications. To overcome the corrosion resistance of stainless steel bio-implants in physiological environments and to improve its osseointegration behavior, we have developed a unique zein/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite coating on a stainless steel substrate by Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD). The EPD parameters were optimized using the Taguchi Design of experiments (DoE) approach. The EPD parameters, such as the concentration of bio-ceramic particles in the polymer solution, applied voltage and deposition time were optimized on stainless steel substrates by applying a mixed design orthogonal Taguchi array. The coatings were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and wettability studies. SEM images and EDX results indicated that the zein/HA coating was successfully deposited onto the stainless steel substrates. The wettability and roughness studies elucidated the mildly hydrophilic nature of the zein/HA coatings, which confirmed the suitability of the developed coatings for biomedical applications. Zein/HA coatings improved the corrosion resistance of bare 316L stainless steel. Moreover, zein/HA coatings showed strong adhesion with the 316L SS substrate for biomedical applications. Zein/HA developed dense HA crystals upon immersion in simulated body fluid, which confirmed the bone binding ability of the coatings. Thus the zein/HA coatings presented in this study have a strong potential to be considered for orthopedic applications.

The development of waterborne coating is essentially important for environmental protection, and cross-linking agent is of great significance for ensuring corrosion resistance of the coating. In this work, tetrabutyl titanate was modified by ethylene glycol and tris(2-hydroxyethyl) amine and used for the solidification of waterborne acrylic-epoxy resin. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed that the agent reacted with OH groups first to cross-link the resin preliminarily, and then, when the amount of agent was further increased, the amino groups opened epoxide rings resulting in a secondary cross-link. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) observation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test found that, when the cross-linking agent was used at 6%, the coating remains intact and kept an impedance of as high as 108Ωcm2 even after being immersed in NaCl solution for 30 days. Copper-accelerated acetic acid-salt spray (CASS) test confirmed that the coating containing 6% cross-linking agent provided the best protection for the carbon steel substrate.

As the increasing environmental awareness, to explore no-chromium passivation technique on galvanized Zn coatings becomes one of the most urgent affair. In this paper, one kind of silicate passivation technics was invented and by which method silicate conversion film on galvanized Zn coatings with satisfactory property was got. It is found that solution composition and operating conditions of passivation affect the property of conversion film markedly, and the optimal technics is: Na2SiO3 20 g/L, H2SO4 5 mL/L, HNO3 5 mL/L, H2O2 10 ml/L, pH 2.0, passivation time 20 s, temperature 25°C. The corrosion resistance of galvanized Zn coatings with different passivated method, including no passivated, Cr(VI) passivated, Cr(III) passivated and silicate passivated, were investigated by NSS test (5% Neutral Salt Spray). The silicate conversion film can keep no rust for 72 h and obviously shows the best property. All the results show that silicate passivation can provide galvanized Zn coatings superior anti-corrosion performance, so this new technics can replace the conventional chromate passivation technology to avoid the pollution of chromium and has a wider application in future.

Zn-Ni and Zn-Co monolayer and Zn-Ni/Zn-Co multilayer (from 2 to 128 layers) alloy coatings were formed on steel substrate by electrodeposition from acidic Zn-Ni bath and neutral Zn-Co bath. Samples were tested in salt chamber for corrosion resistance in neutral salt spray. Open circuit potential measurement and gravimetric study of corrosion were carried for samples immersed in the 5% NaCl solution.It was found that coatings of Zn-Ni surface layer occurred higher corrosion resistance then the coatings of Zn-Co surface layer. Sixteen-layer coating with Zn-Ni surface layer proved to be most effective in protecting the steel substrate. Zn-Ni monolayer showed the lowest corrosion potential, which affects the corrosion properties. Sample weight changes during exposure to a corrosive environment are related to digestion of the coating and the formation of corrosion products.
