Abstract
The effect of cathodic embedding chromium into zinc coating layers is analyzed from the standpoint of change in corrosion resistance. The zinc is deposited from electrolytes of various compositions on electrodes made of St3 steel grade. Grade TsO zinc is used as anode. The preliminary treatment of steel electrode involves treating the surface in the prephase potentiostatic embedding (PPD) mode at a potential 50 mV more positive than equilibrium zinc potential Eeq of the working electrolyte for 5 min. The zinc coating layer is deposited in potentiostatic mode at a potential of –1.20 V relative to the silver chloride reference electrode. The introduction of chromium into the electrodeposited zinc coating is made from electrolytes containing a trivalent chromium salt. The results of X-ray fluorescence analysis of the components of working electrodes after cathodic introduction of chromium, as well as the morphology of the surface formed, are explored using the scanning electron microscopy indicating the presence of chromium in the coating and its effect on the structure. The corrosion resistance of zinc coating layers modified through cathodic introduction of chromium at potentials of –1.05 and –1.10 V for 5 min is better than in chromated zinc.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
