The corrosion protection and antifouling properties of varnish-coated steel panels containing different amounts of cannabis extracts were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), salt spray and immersion tests in 0.5 M NaCl solution and subjected to a field test in seawater. Analysis of the experimental data showed that the presence of cannabis extract resisted the deterioration (peeling off) tendency of the varnish-coated steel panels exposed to aggressive environments. Visual inspection showed that the cannabis extract also provided good antifouling properties.

The present work investigated the corrosion protection performance of ions Ce3+ activated-cerium(IV) oxides nanoparticles for carbon steel in a NaCl solution. Ceria nanoparticles were synthesized by homogeneous precipitation in ethanol/water mixed solvent. The obtained CeO2 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The corrosion inhibition action of the activated nanoparticles by cerium(III) ions on carbon steel in NaCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical measurements (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization). Then, the effect of cerium salt activated-CeO2 on the protection properties of poly-vinyl-butyral (PVB) coating deposited onto carbon steel plate was studied by salt spray test. The obtained results showed that the salt activated-nanoparticles are anodic corrosion inhibitors. The presence of Ce3+ activated CeO2 in the coating improved the barrier properties and corrosion protection performance of the PVB coating. No swellings of coating were observed after 48 hours of exposure in salt spray chamber.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations demand for an expedient discovery of a Cr(VI)-free alternative corrosion protection for light alloys even though the green alternatives might never be as cheap as current harmful technologies. In the present work, flash- plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings (FPEO) with the process duration < 90 s are developed on AZ31B alloy in varied mixtures of silicate-, phosphate-, aluminate-, and fluoride-based alkaline electrolytes implementing current density and voltage limits. The overall evaluation of the coatings’ anticorrosion performance (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), neutral salt spray test (NSST), paintability) shows that from nine optimized FPEO recipes, two (based on phosphate, fluoride, and aluminate or silicate mixtures) are found to be an adequate substitute for commercially used Cr(VI)-based conversion coating (CCC). The FPEO coatings with the best corrosion resistance consume a very low amount of energy (~1 kW h m−2 µm−1). It is also found that the lower the energy consumption of the FPEO process, the better the corrosion resistance of the resultant coating. The superb corrosion protection and a solid environmentally friendly outlook of PEO-based corrosion protection technology may facilitate the economic justification for industrial end-users of the current-consuming process as a replacement of the electroless CCC process.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the electrophoretic deposited nanosilica on stainless steel for corrosion protection. The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was carried out by pulsed direct current (PDC) of silica sol made of sodium silicate. The amplitude and frequency of the PDC were varied in the range of 0.1-0.6 V and 30-80 Hz, respectively. The corrosion protection properties of the silica films were analyzed by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in 2 wt% NaCl solution. The experimental results showed that the silica films exhibit good characteristics as indicated by their high pore resistance and low admittance. The silica film corrosion protection characteristics were influenced by the frequency and amplitude of PDC during preparation of electrophoretic deposition.

Purpose Potassium silicate sealer was applied on solvent-cleaned, acid-pickled, dacromet-coated steel to improve its corrosion resistance. The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion behavior of dacromet-coated steel. Design/methodology/approach Potassium silicate sealer was applied on solvent-cleaned, acid-pickled, dacromet-coated steel to improve its corrosion resistance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and salt spray were carried out. SEM was used to study the morphological appearance of the surface. Findings The EIS behavior indicated that solvent-cleaned dacromet-coated steel sealed with potassium silicate showed that the corrosion current density was 2.664E − 5 A.cm2 which was reduced to 8.752E − 6 A.cm2 and the corrosion rate, which was 2.264E − 2 mm.year−1, was reduced to 7.438E − 3 mm.year−1 in NaCl 3.5 wt.per cent. EIS was used in NaCl 3.5 wt.%, and the Bode plot characteristics showed that the corrosion protection of solvent-cleaned, dacromet-coated steel was enhanced when sealed with potassium silicate. The EDS results of salt-sprayed, solvent-cleaned samples after 10 days indicated that the main corrosion products are composed of SiO2, ZnO and Al2O3. Research limitations/implications The detection of Li element in EDS was not possible because of the device limitation. Originality/value The current paper provides new information about the sealing properties of potassium silicate and its effects on the corrosion resistance of dacromet coating, which is widely used in many industries such as the automobile industry.

This study aims to demonstrate the remarkable features of graphene-based fillers, which are able to improve the protective performance of acrylic coatings. Furthermore, the joint application of a cataphoretic primer and a spray top coat, containing graphene and functionalized graphene oxide flakes, respectively, enables the deposition of a double-layer coating with high conductivity and abrasion resistance properties, capable of offering excellent corrosion resistance to the metal substrate. The surface morphology of the single- and double-layer coatings was investigated by optical and electron microscopies, analysing the defectiveness introduced in the polymer matrix due to the filler agglomeration. The behavior in aggressive environments was assessed by exposure of the samples in the salt spray chamber, evaluating the blister formation and the adhesion level of the coatings. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were employed to study the corrosion protection properties of the coatings, whose conductivity and abrasion resistance features were analysed by conductivity assessment and scrub tests, respectively. The incorporation of graphene-based fillers in the cataphoretic primer improves the corrosion protection properties of the system, while the graphene flakes provide the top coat spray layer with high conductivity and excellent abrasion resistance features. Thus, this work demonstrates the possibility of employing different types of graphene-based fillers and deposition methods for the creation of multifunctional coatings.

In this paper, ethyl cellulose, thermoplastic polyurethane, and mineral oil were used as the main raw materials to synthesize a recyclable thermoplastic gel for anticorrosion coatings by a hot melt method. In addition, the effect of thermoplastic polyurethane on the properties of the coating was discussed. The structure and corrosion protection properties of the coating were characterized and analyzed by a scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, salt spray test, and electrochemical measurements. The results show that the ethyl cellulose and oil in the coating can form a stable organic-gel structure by hydrogen bonding, and the mineral oil and castor oil are uniformly dispersed in the coating. The surface of the coating does not change after 3000 h of a salt spray test. During the repeated hot melting spraying and immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for five times, the electrochemical impedance modulus of the coating was always above 109 Ω⋅cm2, the water absorption rate was always less than 1.5 wt.%, and the mechanical properties of the coating did not decrease. This novel coating could be used for the corrosion protection of flange and valve connections in pipeline and bolting connections in different industries. The disassembly and assembly operation of these connection structures during the regular maintenance will destroy the ordinary anticorrosion coating, and the irregular geometric shape of such places also make difficulties for the preparation of ordinary coatings onsite.

ZnO-NiO nanocomposite with epoxy coating on mild steel has been fabricated by the sol–gel assisted method. The synthesized sample was used to study corrosion protection. The analysis was performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3.5% NaCl solution. The structural and morphological characterization of the metal oxide nanocomposite was carried out using XRD and SEM with Energy Dispersive Absorption X-ray (EDAX) analysis. XRD reveals the ZnO-NiO (hexagonal and cubic) structure with an average ZnO-NiO crystallite size of 26 nm. SEM/EDAX analysis of the ZnO-NiO nanocomposite confirms that the chemical composition of the samples consists of: Zn (8.96 ± 0.11 wt.%), Ni (10.53 ± 0.19 wt.%) and O (80.51 ± 3.12 wt.%). Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) authenticated that the corrosion resistance has improved for the nanocomposites of ZnO-NiO coated along with epoxy on steel in comparison to that of the pure epoxy-coated steel.

nanoZrO2 was modified by styrene coupling grafting method and then used as an additive to improve the protective performance of epoxy coating. Two kinds of coatings, neat epoxy coating and nanoZrO2/epoxy coating, were prepared and applied on Q235 carbon steel plates. The plates were submitted to salt spray chamber and seawater immersion for 1000 hours to evaluate the corrosion protection performance for these two kinds of coatings. Tafel polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were determined to analyze the corrosion behavior of coating/metal system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photographs were carried out for morphology analysis of two kinds of coatings under different conditions. Results showed a superior stability and efficient corrosion protection by nanoZrO2 /epoxy coating. The modified nanoZrO2 could inhibit the penetration of corrosive media and then improve the corrosion protection of the epoxy coating on carbon steel.
