The paper shows the possibility of plasma electrolytic polishing of the steel surface after its chemical-thermal treatment. Positive results of the plasma electrolytic polishing are obtained for low carbon steel after its anodic plasma electrolytic boronitriding. An X-ray diffractometer and a scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the phase composition of the modified layer and its surface morphology. Surface roughness was studied with the use of a roughness tester. The hardness of the treated and untreated samples was measured using a microhardness tester. Corrosion properties of the samples treated surfaces were evaluated using potentiodynamic polarisation tests in solution of sodium chloride. The reduction of the surface roughness of 1.7 times and the corrosion current density of 1.5 times of boronitrided steel by plasma polishing using mode of current interruption for 2 min without changing the structure of the diffusion layers is shows.

The electroplated Ni-Co-Cr coatings were prepared on surface of a low carbon steel. The microstructure of the deposits were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the corrosion resistance of the deposits was evaluated using neutral salt-spray test and polarization measurement. The results show that the deposits are a Co and Cr solid solution in Ni with a grain size of 6.9~10.6nm, were nearly free of corrosion after neutral salt-spray tested 100 hours. With chromium content increasing, the coatings exhibited higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current, which revealed excellent corrosion resistance.

In this work structured sheet metals were investigated using electrochemical measurement techniques. The main purpose is obtaining fundamental information about the corrosion resistance of structured sheet metals in comparison to smooth sheet metals as well determination of the influence of the structuring process on the corrosion properties. The corrosion resistance of structured sheet metals is affected by manufacturing process. One of the main influence factors is the change of the surface roughness. In this study the low carbon steel DC04 and the stainless steel 304 (X5CrNi18-10) were investi-gated. The electrochemical tests were carried out in 3%-NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic linear polarization was used to determine such electrochemical characteristics as the free corrosion potential, the corrosion current, the pitting and protection potential. Furthermore, the corrosion rate was calculated for smooth and structured sheet metals of the low carbon steel DC04. For the stainless steel 304 the pitting density was estimated. The surface roughness was measured for both materials. The electrochemical corrosion tests show a small difference in the corrosion behaviour of structured and smooth sheet metals. Structured sheet metals have a lower corrosion resistance than smooth sheet metals. The steel DC04 shows the worst corrosion properties at the structure location “negative” in comparison to the structure location “positive”. The corrosion resistance of the stainless steel 304 is better at the structure location “negative” than at the structure location “positive”. Moreover, the results show the correlation between the surface roughness and the corrosion resistance for structured sheet metals.

Abstract A corrosion-resistant non-crystalline coating was fabricated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on Q235 low carbon steel for ship pipes. The distribution and composition of chemical elements and phases of PEO coatings were analyzed by an orthogonal experiment, and the formation mechanism of PEO coatings was discussed. The corrosion current densities and corrosion potentials were measured. The results indicated that the formation of a transition layer mainly containing Fe3O4 was crucial for achieving an excellent coating quality. Furthermore, the corrosion current density of coated steel was reduced by 78% compared with the bare steel.

Purpose: This work aimed at evaluating the properties of the ethyl silicate-based coating that can be applied on low carbon steel. Design/methodology/approach: Two mixture ratio types (2:1, and 3:2) of resin and hardener respectively were used to prepared two specimen models (A and B). Findings: It found that some mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and impact strength) of ethyl silicate resin were evaluated according to standard criteria. Research limitations/implications: The effect of heat treatments at various temperatures (100, 150, and 200°C) and holding at different times (10, 20 & 30) min on hardness was investigated. Practical implications: Moreover, an open circuit potential corrosion test with a solution of 3.5% Sodium Chloride at room temperature and 60°C was used to determine the corrosion resistance of low carbon steel specimens coated with the two mixture types. Originality/value: The effects of mixture ratios (for resin and hardener) and heat treatment conditions on properties of ethyl silicate-based coating were studied. From obtained results, acceptable values of tensile, hardness, and toughness were recorded. Increasing heat treatment temperature and holding time leads to enhance hardness for both model types. An open circuit potential (OCP) tests show that there is an enhancement of protective properties of ethyl silicate coatings with mixture type B in comparison with type A was achieved. Generally, the results indicate that specimen model B has higher properties as compared with specimen model A.

The paper presents results of the composite polymer-containing layers formation by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with subsequent application of the superdispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) aqueous suspension. The corrosion properties and adhesion of coatings have been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and scratch tests. Incorporation of SPTFE decreased the corrosion current density for composite layers by more than 3 orders of magnitude in comparison with the base PEO-coating and increased the coatings adhesion by 30 %.
