This paper proposes a testing methodology for barrier properties of large non-conductive anti-corrosion coatings on steel structures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was adapted to in situ testing of steel structures by using a prototypical flexible measuring probe and a gel electrolyte that filled the probe, to take measurements on any surface regardless of its position. The first stage of the testing methodology was to perform time-consuming impedance measurements and quick electromagnetic measurements of coating thickness at selected test points. The results were used to determine correlation relationships between the logarithm of the impedance modulus for the coating at a measuring frequency of 0.1 Hz measured with the EIS method and the average thickness of the coating measured with an electromagnetic thickness gauge. Quick electromagnetic measurements were performed in the second stage to specify thickness of the other surface of the steel structure coating. The barrier properties of this coating were identified on the basis of the determined correlation.

Dip Coating Technique

In this work the assessment of the corrosion performances in saliva solution of NdFeB magnets coated with silane layers was studied for its application in orthodontic brackets. The silane film, deposited by dip coating technique, has been prepared with varying dipping steps, with the purpose to identify the number of layers able to achieve an optimal protective action. Corrosion protection performance, during immersion in Fusayama synthetic saliva solution, was evaluated by means electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The silane coatings evidenced good barrier properties resulting in an improvement of the anti-corrosion performances of the magnets. Better results were observed for samples with at least 15 layers of silane, that evidenced still acceptable protective action after three days of immersion in a Fusayama synthetic saliva solution.
