The effect of an artificially synthesized simonkolleite layer on the corrosion of electrogalvanized steel
2013
Electrochemical behavior of low alloy steel covered by a synthetic layer of simonkolleite was studied alone and in galvanic couple with zinc. Simonkolleite on steel inhibits cathodic oxygen reduction in 5 wt.% NaCl at pH = 7 and 9 but it is unstable at pH = 11. In NaCl solution the galvanic current density between Zn and steel is reduced by more than twice if the synthetic simonkolleite layer is deposited on steel. The polarity between Zn and steel is inverted after several hours in NaHCO3 solutions. X-ray diffraction confirmed the instability of simonkolleite in this conditions and its transformation into carbonate containing salts.
