Abstract

Arc thermal metal spray coating is very efficient process to protect the steel from corrosion in industrial, humid and saline/coastal environments. This paper incorporates the experimental results for the performance of Aluminum coating deposited on mild steel substrate by arc thermal metal spray. Different electrochemical techniques, FE-SEM, Raman spectroscopy and XRD were used to assess the performance of deposited coating. Electrochemical studies revealed the enhanced corrosion resistance properties of coating in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution. The formation of α-Al(OH)3 on coating substrate during exposure periods block the pores of coating and impede the penetration of corrosive species to react with substrate.
