A Green Pre-Film for Carbon Steel by Cerium Salt in Seawater

Article Preview

Abstract:

An environment-friendly pre-film for carbon steel was obtained by using seawater with cerium salt. The influencing factors of cerium salt pre-film were discussed through orthogonal experiments, and the optimum processing parameters were confirmed. Then morphology, composition, the forming process and corrosion resistance of the pre-film were investigated. Analysis by digital microscope showed that the cerium salt pre-film was a blue uniform coating. EDS images displayed that the pre-film consisted of Ce, O and Fe, the major component of the protective layer was a mixture of Ce oxide, Ce hydroxide and Fe hydroxide. The results of electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization and gravimetric measurements indicated that the cerium salt pre-film provided effective protection to the substrate of carbon steel.
