Objective: Coatings that utilize graphene nanomaterials are considered one of the most efficient materials for corrosion prevention of metals. Unfortunately, the usage of these coatings is not commercially feasible since the process of synthesis is very expensive due to imperfection in the process itself. Method: In this regard, few-layer graphene nanomaterials that were synthesized using the process of self-propagation of high-temperature synthesis were used to create coatings. In a salt spray chamber, the effectiveness of these coatings in preventing metal from corroding was examined. Results: It has been demonstrated that the resulting coatings are far more effective than polymeric coatings, which are mostly composed of epoxy resin, at preventing corrosion on steel surfaces. Novelty: A few-layer graphene particle-based coating hypothesis with excellent efficiency was put fortacross both AWS and Azure environments using the Cloud Data Center Workload Dataset.
