Corrosion resistance of amorphous AlPO4 coating in salty atmospheres

The objective of the present study was to introduce a cost-effective and environmentally friendly coating to improve the corrosion resistance of the structures located in salt water. The coating solution, based on amorphous aluminum phosphate composition, was synthesized by sol–gel process and applied to AISI 304 stainless steel by dip coating technique. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses were employed to investigate the phase composition and morphology of the coating. Corrosion behavior of the uncoated and coated samples was investigated using standard salt spray test, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Salt spray test results for the bare substrate revealed a corrosion rate of six-time greater than that of the coated surface after 168 hr exposure time. Electrochemical test results declared that the amorphous AlPO₄ coating decreased the corrosion current density of the AISI 304 stainless steel by 10 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, according to the corresponding EIS measurements, the coated surface exhibited a superior anti-corrosion performance than uncoated sample. Overall, the results declared that the amorphous AlPO₄ coating could be a good choice for surface protection of stainless steel against electrochemical corrosion in salty environments.     

Two layered silica protective film made by a spray-and-dip coating method on 304 stainless steel

The silica coating has attracted much attention because of its superior corrosion resistance with almost no harm to human health and to the environment. In this study, a two layered silica film was tried to get an enhanced corrosion resistance. The silica film was prepared on the hairline finish 304 stainless steel surfaces by-a-spray- and subsequent-dip-coating process. The spray coating solution was prepared by mixing sodium silicate solution, silica colloid, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), ethanol, and distilled water. Then the solution was sprayed onto the stainless steel surface, and was dried and heat treated. The dip coating solution was prepared by a simple mixing of TEOS and acidic water into ethanol, and the prior spray coated sample was dipped into the solution. The outer dip coated layer was intended to cover spray coated rough and porous layer and hence to enhance the corrosion resistance. A homogeneous and crack free surface was successfully obtained after the dip coating. The prepared silica film was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, potentiodynamic polarization scan, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The two layered film showed an enhanced corrosion resistance. The enhancement was attributed to a protecting effect of the dip coated layer where the diffusion of ionic species was successfully impeded.     

Poly(3-octylthiophene) and polystyrene blends thermally treated as coatings for corrosion protection of stainless steel 304

The effect of thermal annealing of poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT) and polystyrene (PS) blend coatings on the corrosion inhibition of stainless steel in a 0.5 M NaCl solution was investigated. P3OT was synthesized by direct oxidation of the 3-octylthiophene monomer with ferric chloride (FeCl₃) as oxidant. Stainless steel electrodes with mirror finish were coated with P3OT/PS blend by drop-casting technique. In order to study the temperature effect on the function like physical barrier against the corrosive species of P3OT/PS polymeric blend, the coatings were thermally annealed at three different temperatures (55?°C, 80?°C, and 100?°C). The corrosion behavior of P3OT/PS-coated stainless steel was investigated in 0.5 M NaCl at room temperature, by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The LPR values indicated that, at 100?°C, P3OT/PS coatings showed a better protection of the 304 stainless steel in 0.5 M NaCl; the corrosion rate diminished in two orders of magnitude with regard to the bare stainless steel. The superficial morphology of the coatings before and after the corrosive environment was researched by atomic force microscopy, optic microscopy, and scanning electronic microscopy. Morphological study showed that the increased temperature benefited the integration of the two polymeric phases, which improved the barrier properties of the coatings. The coating/metal adhesion and the coating thickness were evaluated. The temperature increases the adhesion degree coating/substrate; thus, the coating annealed at 100?°C showed the best adhesion.     

A study on the electrochemical polymerization, characterization, and corrosion protection of o-toluidine on steel

Poly(o-toluidine) (POT) coatings were electrochemically synthesized on 304 stainless steel using cyclic voltammetric method. These coatings were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The corrosion performance of POT coating in aqueous 3 wt% sodium chloride was assessed by the electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization technique, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results reveal that POT coating on 304 stainless steel prevents general and localized corrosion, and reduces the exchange current density almost by a factor of 45 than bare 304 stainless steel.     

Electrochemical preparation of zinc oxide/polypyrrole nanocomposite coating for the highly effective solid‐phase microextraction of phthalate esters

In this work, zinc oxide/polypyrrole nanocomposite coating was fabricated on stainless steel and evaluated as a novel headspace solid‐phase microextraction fiber coating for extraction of ultra‐trace amounts of environmental pollutants, namely, phthalate esters, in water samples. The fiber nanocomposite were prepared by a two‐step process including the electrochemical deposition of polypyrrole on the surface of stainless steel in the first step, and electrochemical deposition of zinc oxide nanosheets in the second step. Porous structure together with zinc oxide nanosheets with the average diameter of 30 nm were observed on the surface by using scanning electron microscopy. The effective parameters on extraction of phthalate esters (i.e., extraction temperature, extraction time, desorption temperature, desorption time, salt concentration, and stirring rate) were investigated and optimized by one‐variable‐at‐a‐time method. Under optimized conditions (extraction temperature, 90°C; extraction time, 40 min; desorption temperature, 270°C; desorption time, 5 min; salt concentration, 25% w/v; and stirring rate, 1000 rpm), the limits of detection were in the range of 0.05–0.8 μg/L, and the repeatability and fiber‐to‐fiber reproducibility were in the ranges of 6.1–7.3% and 8.7–10.2%, respectively.     

Designing an epoxy composite coating having dual-barrier-active self-healing anti-corrosion functions using a multi-functional GO/PDA/MO nano-hybrid

The graphene oxide, functionalized with polydopamine (PDA) bio-polymers and molybdate (MO) ions, was incorporated into the epoxy coating. The FT-IR, Raman, UV-visible, XRD, and FE-SEM/EDS analyses were utilized for the GO/PDA/MO nanoparticle characterization. The sequence of inhibitors' release from the nano-hybrid and their effect on the electrochemical behavior of the steel sample was explored by the OCP, polarization, and, EIS analyses in the aquatic saline media. EIS analyses revealed inhibition efficiency of 88% for the sample immersed in the GO/PDA/MO-contained solution after 48 h immersion. The polarization results showed a 91% corrosion mitigation index for the sample submerged in the GO/PDA/MO extract-containing solution after 48 h immersion. An increase of the scratched coating Nyquist diameter, the lower corrosion product, and coating blister formation after exposure to the salt spray chamber, as well as the lower adhesion loss in the pull-off test (26%), revealed that the epoxy coating reinforced with GO/PDA/MO nano-hybrids could mitigate the mild steel corrosion by improving the barrier performance and active corrosion protection (self-healing mechanism) behavior.     

Application of a solid‐phase microextraction fiber coated with a graphene oxide‐poly(dimethylsiloxane) composite for the extraction of triazoles from water

A solid‐phase microextraction fiber was prepared by mixing graphene oxide and hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane together and then coating the mixture on the surface of etched stainless‐steel wire by sol–gel technology. After aging by heating, the graphene oxide‐polydimethylsiloxane composite coated fiber was used for the direct solid phase microextraction of triazole fungicides from water samples. The properties of the graphene oxide‐polydimethylsiloxane coating were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. And the chemical stability of the coating was tested as well. Several important experimental parameters that could influence the extraction efficiency such as desorption temperature and time, extraction temperature and time, sample pH and stirring rate, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection were in the range from 0.01 to 0.03 μg/L. The results indicated that the homemade fiber had the advantages of good thermal and chemical stability and high extraction efficiency, which was successfully applied to the analysis of triazoles in water samples.

Structural and electrochemical characterization of sputter-deposited nitrided NiCr alloys

Nickel-based coatings are potential candidates for the protection of electrochemical dissolution of steel surfaces. Such coatings, elaborated by magnetron sputtering in a nitrogen atmosphere, offer good corrosion protection, good adherence as well as stability for metallic structures. NiCr alloys with almost constant composition have been deposited with different nitrogen contents on stainless steel and carbon steel surfaces. The coating uniformity, homogeneity, composition and crystallinity have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The corrosion degradation behavior of all the samples was tested in NaCl and NaCl and CO₂ mixture exposures using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Nitrided NiCr alloys on a stainless steel substrate resulted with better adhesion than carbon steel, by delaying the corrosion mechanism when exposed to NaCl and CO₂ solution. A comparison of the corrosion resistive behavior of the substrates (stainless steel, carbon steel) and the coatings is made by using the electrical capacitance concept from a double-layer model for the coating–metal interface.

Modified stainless‐steel wires with a layer of polyaniline conductive polymer were coated by electrochemical deposition with Zn/Al layered double hydroxide to make solid‐phase microextraction fibers. The coating layer was also electrochemically deposited on the inner surface of a stainless‐steel tube. Then, ten prepared fibers were put inside the inner coated tube to make a fiber‐in‐tube solid phase microextraction device. The device was applied for the extraction of caffeine (1,3,7‐trimethylxanthine) from domestic wastewater samples. Extraction conditions including extraction and desorption times, pH and ionic strength of the sample solution, and content of the organic desorption solvent were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the fiber‐in‐tube solid phase microextraction exhibited excellent extraction efficiency toward caffeine. The precision of the method was evaluated. Average relative standard deviation of 5.7% (n = 6) for intraday analysis and 8.3% (n = 5) for interday analysis was obtained. The limits of detection and limits of quantification of the method (at signal to noise ratio of 3 and 10) were obtained as 0.14 and 0.37 ng/mL, respectively. The current study can provide new prospective applications of layered double hydroxide conductive polymer fiber coatings.

Self-assembled graphene/azo polyelectrolyte multilayer film and its application in electrochemical energy storage device

Graphene/azo polyelectrolyte multilayer films were fabricated through electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly, and their performance as electrochemical capacitor electrode was investigated. Cationic azo polyelectrolyte (QP4VP-co-PCN) was synthesized through radical polymerization, postpolymerization azo coupling reaction, and quaternization. Negatively charged graphene nanosheets were prepared by a chemically modified method. The LbL films were obtained by alternately dipping a piece of the pretreated substrates in the QP4VP-co-PCN and nanosheet solutions. The processes were repeated until the films with required numbers of bilayers were obtained. The self-assembly and multilayer surface morphology were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, AFM, SEM, and TEM. The performance of the LbL films as electrochemical capacitor electrode was estimated using cyclic voltammetry. Results show that the graphene nanosheets are densely packed in the multilayers and form random graphene network. The azo polyelectrolyte cohesively interacts with the nanosheets in the multilayer structure, which prevents agglomeration of graphene nanosheets. The sheet resistance of the LbL films decreases with the increase of the layer numbers and reaches the stationary value of 1.0 × 10(6) Ω/square for the film with 15 bilayers. At a scanning rate of 50 mV/s, the LbL film with 9 bilayers shows a gravimetric specific capacitance of 49 F/g in 1.0 M Na(2)SO(4) solution. The LbL films developed in this work could be a promising type of the electrode materials for electric energy storage devices.

Fabrication of alternating polycation and albumin multilayer coating onto stainless steel by electrostatic layer-by-layer adsorption

Multilayer films consisting of polyethylenimine (PEI) and albumin were successfully prepared on biomedical 316L stainless steel surface via electrostatic self-assembly of the PEI and albumin. The process of electrostatic self-assembly of PEI/albumin was monitored by125I radiolabeling, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The EIS data revealed that the multilayer coating was stable in Tris-HCl (pH 7.35) buffer solution for 21 days. 125I radiolabeling experiments indicated that less than 10% albumin was eluted by PBS in 45 days. Static platelet adhesion experiments indicated that the PEI/albumin deposited on stainless steel could resist platelet adhesion effectively. Such an easy processing and shape-independent method may have good potential for surface modification of cardiovascular devices.

Electrochemical behaviour of SiO2 sol-gel coatings on stainless steel

SiO₂ coatings onto stainless steel substrates have been prepared by sol-gel in order to study the performance and mechanism of attack in different corrosive solutions. The electrochemical behaviour of the samples has been evaluated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy using NaCl and HCl as electrolytes. Comparative tests have been performed on samples with one and two silica layers as well as on uncoated ones. SiO₂ coatings produce no important protection of stainless steels subjected to electrochemical corrosion. This behaviour may be explained by micropores and microcracks produced during the coating sintering.
