The corrosion behavior of common pressed prepainted steel sheets with trade mark TDC51D+Z was studied by neutral salt spray and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of organic polymers on the corrosion performance of prepainted steel sheet was analyzed with glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDS). The results showed that the distributing depth of titanium pigment determined the corrosion performance of prepainted steel sheets with white finishing coat.

Passivation Coating

The hot dip Al-Zn alloy coated steel sheet was passivated with chromium-free passivation solution which adopted the molybdate and acrylic resin as the main film-forming substances. The surface morphology and corrosion performance of the coating were studied experimentally by using glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy(GD-OES), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), polarization curves and the neutral salt spray test. The GD-OES and SEM results show that the molybdate-containing thin organic coating is deposited on the substrate compactly and homogeneously without obvious tiny cracks. The test results of corrosion performance show that the corrosion potential and current density of the passive films decrease obviously in comparison with those of the substrate, and the corrosion resistance of the coating is comparable with that of the chromate passivation coating.

Surface Pretreatment

The selection of appropriate surface pretreatments is one of the pending issues for the industrial application of cerium-based chemical conversion coatings (CeCC) as an alternative for toxic chromate conversion coating (CrCC). A two-step surface pretreatment based on commercial products has been successfully used here to obtain CeCC on AA2024-T3 and AA7075-T6. Specimens processed for 1 to 15 min in solutions containing CeCl3 and H2O2 have been studied by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES), potentiodynamic linear polarization (LP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and neutral salt spray (NSS) tests. SEM-EDX showed that CeCC was firstly observed as deposits, followed by a general coverage of the surface with the formation of cracks where the coating was getting thicker. GDOES confirmed an increase of the CeCC thickness as the deposition proceed, the formation of CeCC over 7075 being faster than over 2024. There was a Ce-rich layer in both alloys and an aluminum oxide/hydroxide layer on 7075 between the upper Ce-rich layer and the aluminum matrix. According to LP and EIS, CeCC in all samples offered cathodic protection and comparable degradation in chloride-containing media. Finally, the NSS test corroborated the anti-corrosion properties of the CeCC obtained after the commercial pretreatments employed.

The behavior on artificial weathering of the S320GD+Z prepainted steel sheet for construction was studied by neutral salt spray test, accelerated UV aging test. Their corrosion performance after accelerated UV aging test was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscope technique and atomic force microscopy. The results showed that the resistance to neutral salt spray and the resistance to accelerated UV radiation of the tested samples can meet the demands of domestic and overseas standards. After 2000 h accelerated UV radiation test, the corrosion resistance of prepainted steel sheet declined with the increase of roughness and decrease of electrochemical impedance of the coating surface.

Composite Deposits

The aim of this work was the production and characterization of composite Ni matrix electrodeposits. Pure Ni, micro- and nano-SiC Ni matrix composite deposits have been produced from a Watts’s-type electroplating bath under both direct (DC) and pulse current (PC) conditions. The obtained deposits have been characterized regarding their microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations on both top surface and cross-section and their SiC content by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) and glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) analyses. The resistance to localized corrosion has been evaluated by exposing the samples in a salt spray cabinet and performing visual observation as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements every five days. Both the use of PC and the codeposition of the nanoparticles lead to a grain refinement of the Ni matrix. The use of the PC did not influence in a significant way the resistance of the pure Ni deposits to the localized corrosion. The incorporation of micro-SiC led to a decrease of the corrosion resistance for the deposits produced under DC, while the microcomposites produced under PC presented a corrosion resistance comparable to the pure Ni deposits. The nanocomposites presented the highest corrosion resistance due to the more compact and fine-grained microstructure. EIS revealed the presence of a localized corrosion attack earlier than the visual observation, giving useful information about the failure mechanism.

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 combined AAO/CeOPL coating characterizations include Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) combined with Linear Voltammetry (LVA), for extended times (until 2520 hours) to a model corrosive medium (3.5% NaCl). Topographical and cross-sectional (SEM and EDX) observations were performed in order to determine the AAO/CeOPL film thickness and composition. The AAO/CeOPL layer durability tests were confirmed by standard Neutral Salt Spray (NSS). The data analysis from all the used measurement methods has undoubtedly shown that the presence of AAO film significantly improves the cerium oxide primer layer (CeOPL) protective properties and performance. </span></p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of a fastener composite coating system, sherardized (SD) coating/zinc-aluminum (ZA) coating whether it has good performance in marine environment. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, SD coating was fabricated on fastener surface by solid-diffusion method. ZA coating was fabricated by thermal sintering method. Corrosion behaviours of the composite coating were investigated with potentiodynamic polarization curves, open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Findings Neutral salt spray (NSS) and deep sea exposure tests revealed that the composite coating had excellent corrosion resistance. Polarization curve tests showed that corrosion current density of the sample with composite coating was significantly decreased, indicating an effective corrosion protection of the composite coating. OCP measurement of the sample in NaCl solution demonstrated that the composite coating had the best cathodic protection effect. The good corrosion resistance of the composite coating was obtained by the synergy of SD and ZA coating. Practical implications SD/ZA coating can be used in marine environment to prolong the life of carbon steel fastener. Social implications SD/ZA composite coating can reduce the risk and accident caused by failed fastener, avoid huge economic losses. Originality/value A new kind of composite coating was explored to protect the carbon steel fastener in marine environment. And the composite coating has the long-term anti-corrosion performance both in simulated and marine environment test.

Production of defect-free galvanized steel sheet is considered a major concern for automotive and other critical applications; nevertheless, the occurrence of some defects in the coated sheets is unavoidable. In order to alleviate the problem, we need to know the extent to which the properties of a galvanized sheet are influenced by the presence of a given defect. In this investigation, specimens including any of the two major defects of continuously galvanized steel sheets were selected from a large number of coated samples. The defects, including furnace roll pimples and bare spots, were microstructurally characterized and their influence on corrosion behaviour and mechanical properties of the steel sheet was evaluated. Corrosion resistance was examined via standard salt spray test and Tafel polarization. Tensile test was employed as a measure of mechanical properties of the defective galvanized sheets. The results indicated that the presence of defects had little influence on the tensile properties of the samples, but considerably reduced their corrosion resistance. Based on the results of salt spray tests, pimples reduced corrosion resistance of galvanized sheets 23 % (50 hours) on average and bare spot defects caused reduction in corrosion resistance up to 39%.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been recognized as an active photocatalyst for degradation of various organic pollutants. In this study, in order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, the effect of lanthanum oxide modification was investigated by using commercial P25 as the benchmark. Lanthanum oxide/P25 TiO2 composites with 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5 mol% of La loadings were prepared via an impregnation method. The resultant composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was confirmed that the addition of lanthanum oxide did not much affect the crystallinity, crystal structure and the morphology of P25 TiO2. The catalytic activities of the lanthanum oxide/P25 TiO2 catalysts were tested by using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as the test pollutant and UV light as the irradiation source. The reaction was caried out for 1 hour at room temperature and the percentage removal was determined using a UV spectrophotometer. The results showed that La loading was an important factor that influenced the photocatalytic activity of the composites. After 1 hour reaction, the best catalyst with 0.1 mol% of La loading showed 24% higher photocatalytic activity than the unmodified P25 TiO2 catalyst. It is shown by EIS that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composites was due to the ability of lanthanum oxide in improving the charge separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs in TiO2.
