Investigation of corrosion behavior of galvanized mild steel by improved Zn acidic bath, containing nano-ZnO particles

author

Abstract:

In this study, nano-ZnO particles were deposited on mild steel sheets from an acidic zinc bath. These particles were synthesized by using an auto combustion technique. The effect of concentration of nano- ZnO particles on the corrosion behavior of depositions was investigated. The results of salt spray tests and electrochemical measurements showed that corrosion resistance is improved by addition of nano-ZnO particles into acidic zinc bath. Based on results, coating contain 0.5g of zinc oxide nano-particles had lowest corrosion rate (1.022mpy) and high corrosion resistance. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X- ray diffraction (XRD) were used for studying the surface morphology and crystal structure of the zinc deposit. SEM observations showed that zinc-oxide nano-particles by absorption of the corrosive agents had action as a barrier against corrosive environment. The study of XRD pattern showed that the adding of nano ZnO was decreased the amount of corrosion products which indicated a higher corrosion resistance than the sample without any nano-particles.

Corrosion of Galvanized Steel in Soils

The results of measurements of the corrosion of galvanized steel and of bare steel and zinc as reference materials after exposure to different soil conditions for a maximum of 13 years are reported. The magnitude and progress of corrosion of galvanized steel as determined by weight loss and pitting is interpreted in terms of the environmental conditions to which the specimens were exposed. From...

Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Acidic Solution by Apricot Gum as a Green Inhibitor

The inhibitive effect of apricot gum AG on mild steel in 0.5 M phosphoric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical noise EN techniques. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing AG concentration up to a certain value and decreased with increasing temperature. Polarizat...

A Predictive Model Accounting for the Mechanical Behavior of Galvanized Alloy Layers on the Mild Steel

Zinc coating is formed by the heterogeneous assembly of the Γ, Γ1, δ, ζ and η phases whose mechanical properties greatly differ from each other. Thermal strains resulting from large differences between thermal expansion coefficients are partially relaxed by the formation of a crack network. In order to model this phenomenon, initial hardness, thermal expansion coefficient αi and toughness (KIC)...
