Abstract
The paper presents a novel method of on-line impedance monitoring of cataphoretic coating application process. Utilization of dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS) overcame the fundamental problem connected with non-stationarity of the aforementioned coating deposition process, which eliminates classical impedance spectroscopy technique from a real-time description of cataphoresis. The paper illustrates selected examples of potentialities of DEIS regarding the characterization of the cataphoretic coating process. Acquired instantaneous impedance spectra enabled on-line insight into impedance changes upon steel substrate polarization duration, thus visualizing coating application progress. DEIS allowed estimation of the time necessary for the coating/steel substrate system to achieve a steady state after polarization switch off. The proposed approach seems to be a step towards real-time monitoring of electrophoretic coating application and offers a potential for improved process control and optimization.
