Effect of Curing Agents on the Corrosion Resistance of Phosphate Coatings in Marine Environment by KANG Yongxia, LIU Wenxiu, FAN Sanpeng, XIANG Yi, REN Shiyan, YOU Siwei, WANG Jiyun

“…Chemically bonded phosphate ceramic (CBPC) coatings have often been applied to the surface of 304 stainless steel to mitigate localized corrosion in chloride ion environment.In order to investigate the effect of curing agent types on the corrosion resistance of CBPC coatings in marine environment，four different CBPC coatings were prepared using Al2O3，CaO，SiO2 and ZnO as curing agents.The thermal properties，micromorphology，phase composition，wettability and electrochemical corrosion behavior of these coatings were then analyzed.Results showed that the CBPC coating with ZnO as the curing agent exhibited the highest corrosion potential，the lowest corrosion current density，the largest low-frequency impedance value，and the highest corrosion protection efficiency，which reached 96.49%，demonstrating the best corrosion resistance.This was attributed to the highest relative mass fraction of the AlPO4 phase (20.89%) in the CBPC coating with ZnO as the curing agent.The microstructure of the coating was dense，with fewer corrosion paths.Additionally，the wetting angle of a 3.5%(mass fraction)NaCl droplet on the surface of the coating was the highest，measuring 107°，making it more difficult for the droplet to spread and penetrate the coating surface.In summary，the CBPC coating with ZnO as the curing agent improved the corrosion resistance by reducing the penetration of corrosive media and slowing the corrosion rate.…”
