Corrosion protection of stainless steel by separate polypyrrole electrode in acid solutions

Abstract

Galvanic anodic protection (GAP) of stainless steels by doped polypyrrole (PPy) was investigated using chemically synthesized PPy. Separate PPy powderpressed electrodes with different surface areas were prepared. Electrochemical properties of PPy electrodes were studied by open circuit potentials (OCPs) and potentiostatic polarization. PPy powder-pressed electrodes were coupled with 410-stainless steel electrodes in different concentrations of sulfuric acid solutions, 5 M phosphoric acid solution, and industrial phosphoric acid solution (5 M phosphoric acid þ 0.05% chloride ion). Remarkable shift of OCP to the positive direction and sharp decrease of corrosion rate were observed during the coupling experiments, which implies that 410-stainless steel was transferred to passive state. Results also showed that PPy electrode with sufficient surface area can provide corrosion protection to 410-stainless steel electrode in highly corrosive acid solution. Based on the experiment results, GAP provided by PPy and PANi (synthesized under similar conditions) was compared.

Corrosion inhibition performance of polymer-alloy bilayer coatings: electropolymerised polyaniline and electrodeposited ZnNi with different layer orders

“…16 Moreover, there is still controversy over whether the doped or undoped form of PANI protects steel better. 17,18 For the most part of the studies regarding corrosion protection via conducting polymers, conducting polymers have been used singly, 13,[19][20][21][22] however, in some of the other studies conducting polymers have been used in binaryform as copolymer [23][24][25] or as bilayer coating. [26][27][28] 36 In the present authors' previous work, 37 it was found that the passivation of ZnCo alloy surface was necessary for homogenous polymer film synthesis prior to monomer oxidation and film growth.…”

Investigation on anticorrosion performance of polyaniline‐mesoporous MCM‐41 composites in new water‐based epoxy coating

“…In recent decades, new generations of environmental friendly coatings, which employed water as their solvent have attracted many attentions of researchers . Because of less solvent of water‐based systems compared to solvent‐based coatings, and the reductions in VOC emissions, the working environment would be improved .…”

A comprehensive approach based on SVM to model pitting corrosion behaviour of EN 1.4404 stainless steel

“…Most of the studies developed about pitting corrosion are based on polarisation techniques [21][22][23][24]. However, these techniques involve a serial of human interpretation that may lead to poor quality results [25].…”
