Corrosion Behavior of Epoxy/Zno-Nio Nanocomposite Coating on Steel Substrate

Abstract

Corrosion is a very common natural phenomenon, which leads to huge losses especially in the building construction, turbines in the industries and several other fields. In this research we synthesized and developed new coating materials containing ZnO-NiO. The fabricated coating was characterized by using different techniques such as SEM, XRD etc. The efficiency of the coating against corrosion was examined using the Tafel experiments and it was observed that the fabricated coating exhibit excellent anti-corrosion under seawater.
