Some Possibilities of Evaluation of Corrosive Resistance of Metal and Non-Metal Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study investigated the possibilities of determination of corrosion resistance of metal and non-metal (organic) coatings deposited to steel surface in the corrosion environment. To determine the corrosion rate of metal PVD coating based on Ti, we used the method involving measurement of polarization conductivity. Corrosion resistance of galvanic Ni or Ni-Co coatings was determined by measuring free corrosion potential ESCE (against that of saturated calomel electrode SCE), or by means of potentiodynamic polarization relationships according to Tafel. These methods provided the basic corrosion characteristics: corrosion potential Ecorr, instantaneous corrosion rate jcorr and polarization resistance Rp. Corrosion resistance of organic coating Woerodur, which was applied by pressure spray to the substrate pre-treated in various ways, was tested in a salt-fog environment. After the exposure to the respective environment we evaluated the appearance of coating. The aim of the study was to point out to the availability of methods suitable for evaluation of corrosion resistance of coatings, and to the possibilities of their application under real practical conditions.
