The salt spray tests of the coated samples and the substrates were carded out in a salt spray test machine. The phase composition and surface morphology of the coatings were investigated by XRD and SEAM. Severe corrosion occurred on the substrate surface, while there were no obvious corrosion phenomena on the coated samples. The coatings were composed of Al2TiO5 and a little α-Al2O3 and mille TiO2, and the salt spray test did not change the composition of the coatings. The weight loss rate of the coatings decreased with increasing MPO time because of the increase in density and thickness of the coatings. The surface morphology of the coatings was influenced by salt spray corrosion test. Among the coated samples, the coating prepared for 2 h has the best corrosion resistance under salt spray test.展开更多

The effect of nano-SiO2 on the corrosion resistance and fire resistance of ammonium polyphosphate-pentaerythritol-melamine （APP- PER-MEL） coating was investigated by differential thermal analysis （DTA）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, effective thermal conductivity （λ/d）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and fire protection test. The chemical action and endothermic effect of ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol and melamine in traditional flame retardant coating were damaged by salt spray condition, whereas the flame-retardant additives in the nano-coating demonstrated the good chemical interaction in salt spray condition. The uniformly dispersed nano-SiO2 particles could improve corrosion resistance of the coating, and hence nano-coating could remain the good fire-resistant properties even after 500 h salt spray test.展开更多

Moreover, the mechanism was investigated using the mass loss method, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）, stereology microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS）. The results show that M152 steel suffers severe corrosion, especially pitting corrosion, in a high-salt-spray environment. In the early stage of the experiment, the color of the corrosion products was mainly orange. The products then gradually evolved into a dense, brown substance, which coincided with a decrease of corrosion rate. Correspondingly, the EIS spectrum of M152 in the late test also exhibited three time constants and presented Warburg impedance at low frequencies.展开更多

The first step involved preparing nano-AI concentrates with high concentration and low viscosity, and the second step produced nano- composite epoxy coatings by mixing the nano-AI concentrates and epoxy resin. Later, the coating was examined with immersion and salt spray tests. The coatings were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results showed that the 5% nano-AI significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the coatings. There are two effects of nano-AI on the coating. Nano-AI is corroded initially to protect the substrate from corrosion, and then the aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide were produced after corrosion of nano-AI, which hindered the transmission of corrosion fluid into the coatings.展开更多

The localized corrosion was accurately characterized by SKP in both coated and uncoated regions. The SKP results showed that Volta potential varied with the test time, and the more the corrosion products, the more positive the potential. The borderline between coated and uncoated regions of partly coated steel shifted towards the coated side with the increasing of test time. The coating disbonding rate could be determined according to the shift of potential borderline measured by SKP. The corrosion mechanism of partly coated steel in NaCl salt spray was discussed according to the potential maps and corrosion morphologies.展开更多
