Application of Electrochemical Techniques in the Porosity Assessment of Electroless Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Chemical and electrochemical techniques were applied to evaluate the porosity of various electroless coatings (single-layer coating, multilayer coating and ternary coating). The electrochemical techniques include linear polarization resistance and Tafel extrapolation method. The effects of these techniques were compared. It’s evident that electrochemical methods performed better than chemical method when they were applied to assess the porosities of coatings with very fine through pores.
