Abstract

Mild steel materials have wide applications in marine constructions, because of their low cost, availability, and ease of handling. However, it has to be protected from corrosive media by coating with nanomaterials. Among various nanomaterials, TiO2 has been widely used to protect metals from corrosion due to its thermal and electrical properties. TiO2 is also resistant to oxidation, erosion, and wear-out in high-temperature environments. Studies reveal that TiO2 nano-coatings provide an effective way to fabricate a good anticorrosive coating in aggressive conditions by forming a passive layer at the coating–metal interface. This review summarizes the development of the various coating techniques and the investigation of their anticorrosive properties. The chapter on the electrochemical studies reveals that TiO2 metal oxide nano-coating may endow with new prospects for material scientists in designing research on anticorrosive coating materials.
