Assessment of Electrodeposited Zn-ZnO-Agrowaste-Silica Sand Composite as Anticorrosion Material for Mild Steel Substrate in a Marine Environment

Abstract MS is extensively used in oil and gas industries, but its inherent susceptibility to corrosive attack in marine environments with high C of Cl- is a shortcoming to its applications in such inevitable medium. Coating has been a popular means of mitigating steel structures corrosion. This work assessed the effect of Zn-ZnO based AW-SS composite as AC material on a MS substrate in a marine environment. The Zn-ZnO base was separately subject to CD with SS, DLFA and LSLA particulates on MS substrates. PDP method was used to ascertain corrosion behaviors of the coated samples in a simulated SW environment. The samples ( and microstructural properties were studied by a microhardness tester and SEM, respectively. The results indicated that the samples ( increased when they were coated by SS and LSLA higher C, which had the highest and lowest (, respectively. The coatings CP improved visibly with SS, which had the highest value (61.4%), followed by DLFA (53.8%) and LSLA (44.3%). AW incorporated into Zn-ZnO is a potential AC material.
