Özet

Zinc-cobalt alloy plating (ZnCo) was successfully deposited on carbon steel (CS) applying current of 2 mA with galvanostatic technique. Polyaniline film (PANI) was synthesized with cyclic voltammetry technique from 0.20 M aniline containing 0.20 M sodium tartrate solution on zinc-cobalt plated carbon steel (CS/ZnCo) electrode. PANI film characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was covered with a dark green-brown homopolymer film of strongly adherent homogeneous characteristic while the other one was plated with a porous light ZnCo one. The corrosion behaviour of zinc-cobalt deposited carbon steel electrodes with and without polyaniline (PANI) film in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated with AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique and anodic polarization curves. The results showed that PANI coating led to decrease of the permeability of metallic plating. The PANI homopolymer film provided an effective barrier property on zinc-cobalt coating and a remarkable anodic protection to substrate for longer exposure time. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
