Abstract  

A superhydrophobic phosphate-cerium salt composite coating was prepared on hot-dip galvanizing carbon steel via a two-step chemical conversion process, namely first traditional phosphating and then dipping in solution of cerium nitrate and stearic acid. The prepared coating was characterized in terms of surface morphology, chemical composition and structure by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy spectrum analyzer (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The hydrophobicity and corrosion performance of the prepared coating was assessed by means of contact angle- and sliding angle- measurement, as well as electrochemical impedance (EIS) and Tafel polarization curve measurement. Results show that the superhydrophobic coating can effectively reduce the corrosion through the interfacial air film. The contact angle of the coating can reach up to 162°. The coating, prepared by dipping in cerium salt solution for about 300 s, presents an electrochemical impedance two orders of magnitude superior to that of pure Zn, indicating a good corrosion resistance.
