Abstract

Conventional epoxy coating for surface metal corrosion protection reported many unsolved technical problems. Adding filler in the epoxy could enhance the promising properties of the composite coating. Our work describes in detail the synthesizing and characterizing epoxy/carbon composite coating. Epoxy was mixed with thinner high gloss (HG) and hardener and stirred using a stirrer apparatus. After blending, various carbons were added (1 wt. %, 3 wt. %, and 5 wt. %) and then appropriately stirred. The different mixture composite was coated onto the steel plate cold rolled coiled (SPCC) plate using high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) in two passes. Various characterizations were performed, including crystallographic orientation, Infra-Red (IR)-spectra, surface morphology, thickness, hydrophobicity, hardness, and corrosion using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), portable dry film coating thickness (DFT), digital camera, Vickers microhardness tester, and Potentiostat, respectively. More carbon micron-sized content led to elevate the peak intensity, surface bumpiness, and hydrophobicity. The uppermost external bumpiness and hydrophobicity values are 23.51 µm and 101◦. Hardness depends on carbon content and more carbon leads to an increase in the hardness of the composited coating. The highest average Vickers hardness value is 28.24 HV. The coating thickness influenced the corrosion rate, more coating thickness promoted lesser corrosion rate. The highest coating thickness (60.8 µm) promoted a corrosion rate of around 5.65×10−4 mmpy.

Abstract

Magnesium (Mg) alloy is used for various medical purposes, such as bone implants. In the present study, MgAlSixZn alloys were created utilizing the gravity casting by adding various Zinc (Zn) (x is 0, 0.5, 1.2, and 1.7 wt.%) and then homogenized at 400 ◦C for around two hours. MgAlSixZn as homogenized samples were investigated for microstructure, phase structure, electrochemical behavior, surface morphology, bacterial activity, hardness, and thermal behavior using an optical microscope, XRD, Potentiostat, SEM-EDS, digital camera, Vickers hardness test, and Thermogravimetric apparatus, respectively. Several findings include that increasing Zn content implies a grain growth inhibition mechanism facilitated by Zn segregation at grain boundaries, increased corrosion rates, a rise in the hardness, and increased weight loss. It should be noted that the increase in the corrosion rate and weight loss occurs linearly for Zn addition in the Mg alloy until 1.2 wt.%. An increase in Zn concentration causes the peak shift in MgAlSi-based alloy samples, but no crystallographic orientation is apparent. At the end, the highest corrosion rate and inhibition area are observed in MgAlSi1.2Zn, which indicates that it is suitable for biodegradable orthopedic wire.
