EFFECT OF CORROSION BEHAVIOUR ON MILD STEEL

COATED WITH NICKEL, CHROMIUM

 Abstract

 Chromium and nickel coating formed by a chemical reaction

produced when parts are immersed in the alkaline aqueous
salt solution operated at approximately 285 degrees f.
 In this study, firstly, thermal analyses are investigated on a
conventional (uncoated) mild steel. Secondly, thermal
analyses are performed on mild steel, coated with Chromium
and nickel.
 The effect of coatings on the thermal behaviors of the mild
steel is investigated. It has been shown that the maximum
surface temperature of the coated mild steel with material
which has low thermal conductivity is improved
approximately Chromium and nickel is coated mild steel.
 This paper also discussed about the surface roughness and
component life factor after coating.
 LITRATURE SURVEY

 A detailed literature survey of functionally graded coatings was carried out in

order to understand the properties of the coatings. Jingde Zhang et al (2003), Khor
et al (1999), Schulz et al (2003), Dong et al (1999, 2001), Demirkhan et al (1999),
Khor et al (1997, 2003), have extensively studied the thermal sprayed FGC’s. This
is to compare the properties of duplex coatings of mullite/nickel chrome with the
different types of thermal sprayed functionally graded coatings. Similarly,
functionally graded composites were studied by Kiebeck et al (2003), Gang Jin
(2005), Chakraborty (2008), Andertová (2007).
 Chromium-based and zinc are used mostly as coating materials but due to
stringent rules and regulations in terms of Health, Safety and Environment
by many agencies, the former usage had declined progressively in the last
decade. While the application of zinc as coating is discouraged significantly
due to price fluctuation (Dennis et al, 2013). Hence alternative materials
are sourced aggressively and one of such is the hybrid materials comprising
of Unfuctionalised Graphene (UFG) and polyetherimides. This coating
provide enhanced corrosion resistance to low alloy steel as depicted by data
obtained from Tafel plot shown in Figure 1. It was also reported that the
coating works on the active-passive mechanism of corrosion inhibition
(Dennis et al, 2013).
