Abstract
Many naturally-derived organic coating has been proposed for corrosion protection of carbon steel, but its effectiveness is challenged by poor coating adhesion. In this work, chitosan was extracted from Nila tilapia fish scales and coated onto ASTM A36 carbon steel surface by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and dip coating (DC) techniques. The work aims at determining the coating technique and process parameters that result in effective corrosion protection of carbon steel in acid solution. The effectiveness of corrosion protection was determined by calculating inhibition efficiency from corrosion parameters obtained by polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that each coating technique provides different mechanism of corrosion protection. The DC-made coating showed a physisorption mechanism where the steel's corrosion rate increases as the temperature increased. The EPD-coated specimens demonstrated a chemisorption mechanism with its minor change in corrosion rates than those of DC-coated specimens. The DC technique resulted in a higher inhibition (73 %) efficiency and lower corrosion rate than that of EPD (41 %) with some degree of stability over increasing temperature.
