EIS measurements of 4 coating samples

Source:Corrtest Time:2021-12-22 View:0
 EIS measurements of 4 coating samples
Aim: to evaluate the protection of coating(through different treatments) on the low carbon steel based on EIS measurements
Four types of samples:
#1: coating sample through oiling plate vitrification 
#2: coating sample through oiling plate phosphating
#3: coating sample through Chromium-free passivation plate vitrification
#4: coating sample through Chromium-free passivation plate degreasing
Corrosion media: 3.5% NaCl solution
Experiment method: EIS- Frequency
Experiment Setup: CS350 potentiostat galvanostat,  CS936 flat corrosion cell,(exposure WE area 1cm2. The cell is put in a Faraday cage. )
Pt mesh (built-in in flat corrosion cell) as CE, CS900 saturated calomel electrodes as RE, Coating sample as WE.
Parameters setting: AC amplitude is 10mV during measurement, frequency range is 100kHz~0.01Hz, choose “logarithmic” scan, points/decade is “10”.

3. Conclusion
   (1)Under the same conditions, compared with the sample #2, the impedance of the coating #1 is bigger, indicating that the sample #1 has better anti-corrosion abilities.
   (2) Under the same conditions, compared with the sample #4, the impedance of the coating #3 is bigger, indicating that the sample #3 has better anti-corrosion abilities.
