Abstract

Carbon nanotubes/Pb–Sn composite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition technology. The polarization curves and electrochemical impedance of the Pb–Sn coatings and carbon nanotube/Pb–Sn composite coatings were studied in 3.0 wt% HCl, 10 wt% NaOH, and 3.5 wt% NaCl electrolyte solutions, respectively. The results show that the corrosion potential of carbon nanotubes/Pb–Sn composite coatings were improved in the three kinds of corrosive medium, especially in 3.5 wt% NaCl electrolyte solution, where it increased significantly from −0.592 V (vs SCE) to −0.535 V (vs SCE). In addition, composite coatings have higher electrochemical impedance. Carbon nanotubes can improve the corrosion resistance of lead–tin electroplated coatings.
