Corrosion Protection of Stainless Steel by ZrO2-CeO2 Sol-Gel Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

ZrO2-CeO2 thin film was successfully prepared on 316L stainless steel by sol-gel process and the corrosion characteristics of the substrate coated with ZrO2-CeO2 thin film were evaluated through potentiodynamic polarization curve obtained in deaerated 15% H2SO4. The results show that, with the increase of CeO2 content, the corrosion rate of 316L stainless steel substrates coated with ZrO2-CeO2 thin film decreases. The surface morphology of the coating was observed by field scanning electron microscopy and the elements in the surface of coated substrate analyzed by FEM-EDX.
