1 Introduction

The corrosion of iron and its alloys gives rise to a yearlyloss of billions of dollars Approximately 90 of all metallicsurfaces are protected with organic coatings [1] on accountof their low cost the ease of application and their aestheticfunctionality Organic paints are generally made up of bindersystems anticorrosive pigments fillers solvents and variousadditives [2 3]The anticorrosive ability of coating films restswith metal surface treatment the type and concentration ofanticorrosive pigment the way of coating formation and soon [4ndash8]

Now government pays more and more attention to per-sonnel healthy and environmental protection So composi-tion of paints and their applications are facing more stringentrequirements However traditional paints are facing adversecondition because of those utilized volatile organic com-pounds (VOCs) as solvents and toxic chemical as anticorro-sive pigments Except for a good anticorrosive performanceexcellent quality paint shall be equipped with environmentalfriendliness and easy construction performance In order tobetter meet the requirements of industry development suchas aviation and shipbuilding low VOC nontoxic and poorsurface preparations are the development direction

However due to the environmental and safety issuesconsiderable research activities have conducted to enhancethe increasing demand to reduce volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants emissions increasingthe efforts to formulate waterborne systems for use as coat-ings [9] The best known and most frequently applied non-toxic anticorrosive pigments are phosphate pigments Andzinc phosphate was themost important kind of the phosphatepigments before 2004 [10ndash12] But the pigments based zincphosphates were classified according to the European Direc-tive 200473EU as hazardous substances to the environmentin 2004 [13] As result of this fact the development of ldquozinc-freerdquo inhibitor which is low or zero content of zinc deals withthe manufacturers Aluminum tripolyphosphate is one of thebest choices [14ndash16]

meet the challenge It may be defined as one formed bya chemical reaction which converts the surface of a metalsubstrate into a compound which became part of the coating

Now our team has excogitated a new paint that employsnoncontaminating inhibitors water as solvent and can meetpoor surface preparation In order to better demonstrate theprotective function of coating the behavior of this acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel is studied by electro-chemical techniques

2 Experimental

21 Samples The behavior of a new acrylic paint producedby our lab has been studied Table 1 gives the more importanttechnical characteristics of this paint Mild steel Q235 hasbeen employed as the metallic substratum The samplesstudied were rectangular test pieces of 100mm times 150mm times1mm The samples were abraded using SiC abrasive papersup to 240 grit washed in distilled water and acetone in turnand then dried in air After that samples sprayed a solution of35 NaCl for 15 days to be rusting Before painting floatingrust of sample was cleaned by SiC abrasive papers The paintwas then applied using a brush to a thickness of 130120583m andthe compared samples of epoxy antirust paint were 160 120583mThe shapes of scratches were 119883 for EIS and line for LEISAll scratches were made by utility knife for 10mm long and50120583m wide The distance between scratch and each edge ofsamples was more than 20mm

22 Electrochemical Measurements EIS measurements werecarried out in the solution of 35 wt NaCl with a PARSTAT2273 system over the frequency range from 105Hz to 10minus2Hzat open circuit potential with a 20mVpotential perturbationThe internal parallel capacitance of the measuring machinewas smaller than 5 pF A three-electrode arrangement wasused consisting of a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as ref-erence electrode a platinum electrode as counter electrodeand the coated sample as theworking electrode For thework-ing electrode the exposing area was 314 cm2 which woulddecrease the magnitude of the measured impedance andavoid hitting the limit of the measurement instrumentation

especially at moderate and high frequenciesThe Pt electrodeareawas nearly the size of theworking electrode about 4 cm2Fitting of the impedance spectra was made using ZsimpWinsoftware

TheLEISmeasurements were performed on coating spec-imens that immersed in 35 NaCl solution through a PARModel 370 Scanning Electrochemical Workstation Thus thetest solution for LEIS measurements was 0001MNaCl solu-tion The microprobe was stepped over a designated area ofthe electrode surface The scanning took the form of a rasterin 119909-119910 plane The step size was controlled to obtain a plotof 32 lines times 21 lines The AC disturbance signal was 100mVand the excitation frequency for impedance measurementswas fixed at 5 kHz All LEIS measurements were carried outat ambient temperature (sim22∘C) Each test was performed atleast twice to confirm the repeatability

3 Results and Discussion

31 Immersion Tests Figure 1 shows the corrosion microto-pography of a painted sample immersed in the solution of35 wt NaCl for 21 days As can be observed there was norust blister crack or flake that occurred on coating whichindicates that the coating has remarkable corrosion resistanceperformance

In Table 2 the comparison of the corrosion morphologybetween epoxy antirust paint and our paint in function ofthe time of exposure is representedThe result shows that thestudied coating achieved a good anticorrosive performanceAfter 24 hours exposure there was obvious rusting in scratch

of epoxy antirust coating but no change in the studiedcoating The scratch of the studied coating still did not haveapparent rust in 8 days exposure however serious corrosionwas found in epoxy antirust coating sample and even blister

From the above results the studied coating shows thefunction of inhibition to 35NaCl solution after immersionParticularly compared to epoxy antirust coating it is easyto see that the studied coating is provided with self-healingability This will be discussed in detail in the followingsections

32 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Figure 2 showsthe EIS diagrams corresponding to tests made on paintedsamples after being subjected to tests of different periods ofduration The data obtained demonstrate that in the first12 h of immersion interesting changes have taken place TheNyquist diagrams of the system in 1 h consisted of half acapacitive reactance arc of high frequency and a low fre-quency of capacitive reactance arc After 2 h those turnedinto a single capacitive arch There was a considerabledecrease of the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagramsof first 2 h and increase after 4 h In parallel a decreasewas observed in the modulus of the impedance in the Bodediagrams of first 2 h and increase after 4 hThis decrease in theimpedance suggests that during the first hours of immersionthere is an increase in the activity taking place in the systemin this period Figure 2(b) shows that the Nyquist diagramspresent a single capacitive arch and the arch increases contin-uously from 1 d to 21 d

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams corresponding to testsmade on samples of studied paint with scratch after beingsubjected to tests of different periods of durationTheNyquistdiagrams presented a single capacitive arch Being parallelto intact painted samples there was a considerable decreaseof the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagrams first andincreased then By contrast the Nyquist diagrams of epoxyantirust coatings with scratch (Figure 4) presented a singlecapacitive arch too but it decreased over time It is easy tosee that the modulus of the samples of studied coating withscratch in the Bode diagrams was inferior to that of epoxyantirust paint in initiation But after 8 days of immersioninversion has happened Figure 5 shows the phenomenonobviously It is in accordance with the result of immersion

In order to guarantee the poor surface preparation anda good anticorrosive performance of our paint many specificpigments are added in itThese specific pigments are chemicalactive so the modulus of coating is at a low levelThe specificpigment utilized in the formulation of the studied coating isaluminum triphosphate The mechanism of actuation of thiscompound has not been clearly established

In last decades phosphate-based pigments are frequentlyapplied in coatings to improve their corrosion resistance [19ndash22] When the water has penetrated into the coating thepigments based on phosphate anions can release phosphatesto form a protective layer on the metal substrate which canimpede the access of the aggressive species to the substratesurface [22 23] Particularly aluminum tripolyphosphatecould hydrolyze to produce H+ which could minimizethe hydroxyl production on the metal substrate and retardcathode disbanding to prolong the service life of organiccoatings [14]

At 1 h theNyquist diagrams of the systemconsisted of onehalf of capacitive arc at high frequencies and another half ofcapacitive arc at low frequencies The one at high frequenciescan be attributed to the reaction between water and the largeamount of aluminum triphosphate well dispersed in the coat-ing matrix The equivalent circuit shown in Figure 6(a) hasbeen selected to simulate the data of 1 h After 2 h of immer-sion as aluminum triphosphate continues to react withwaterdenser protective layer was formed which seal the conduitsfor water penetration and lead to an increase in barrierproperty of the coating As a result the Bode diagram of thesystem demonstrated only a single time constant as shown inFigure 2 For this reason the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(c)has been selected In the circuit 119877

is the resistance of the pores and is a measure of the porosityas a consequence of the degradation of the coating

Study of the evolution of the diagrams of EIS with time ofimmersion enables an analysis to bemade about the variationof the protective capacity of painted samples In our casefrom the fit of the experimental diagrams to the equivalentcircuit proposed the values of the capacity 119876

119888 and of the

resistance 119877119888 associated with the layer of paint have been

calculated (Table 3) Figure 7 presents the evolution of theseparameters during the first 24 h of exposure In this figure itcan be observed how as the time of exposure is increased theresistance of the coating decreased first and then increasedIt is due to the anticorrosive performance of aluminum

tripolyphosphate that the number of defects in the coatingdecreases as protective layer forms In the first 2 h of expo-sure the capacity of coating increased because the waterpenetrates into the coating and the conductivity of thecoating increases However aluminum triphosphate releasesphosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrateto impede the access of the aggressive species and corrosionSo the conductivity is reduced and capacity is down

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams of our painted sampleswith scratch after being subjected to tests of different periodsof durationThe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitiveloop all the time There is a considerable decrease of the archthat appears in the Nyquist diagrams first and increases thenReason for this phenomenon is that aluminum triphosphate

Figure 9 Time dependence of LEIS profiles and their projections of epoxy antirust painted samples

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate

meet the challenge It may be defined as one formed bya chemical reaction which converts the surface of a metalsubstrate into a compound which became part of the coating

Now our team has excogitated a new paint that employsnoncontaminating inhibitors water as solvent and can meetpoor surface preparation In order to better demonstrate theprotective function of coating the behavior of this acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel is studied by electro-chemical techniques

2 Experimental

21 Samples The behavior of a new acrylic paint producedby our lab has been studied Table 1 gives the more importanttechnical characteristics of this paint Mild steel Q235 hasbeen employed as the metallic substratum The samplesstudied were rectangular test pieces of 100mm times 150mm times1mm The samples were abraded using SiC abrasive papersup to 240 grit washed in distilled water and acetone in turnand then dried in air After that samples sprayed a solution of35 NaCl for 15 days to be rusting Before painting floatingrust of sample was cleaned by SiC abrasive papers The paintwas then applied using a brush to a thickness of 130120583m andthe compared samples of epoxy antirust paint were 160 120583mThe shapes of scratches were 119883 for EIS and line for LEISAll scratches were made by utility knife for 10mm long and50120583m wide The distance between scratch and each edge ofsamples was more than 20mm

22 Electrochemical Measurements EIS measurements werecarried out in the solution of 35 wt NaCl with a PARSTAT2273 system over the frequency range from 105Hz to 10minus2Hzat open circuit potential with a 20mVpotential perturbationThe internal parallel capacitance of the measuring machinewas smaller than 5 pF A three-electrode arrangement wasused consisting of a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as ref-erence electrode a platinum electrode as counter electrodeand the coated sample as theworking electrode For thework-ing electrode the exposing area was 314 cm2 which woulddecrease the magnitude of the measured impedance andavoid hitting the limit of the measurement instrumentation

especially at moderate and high frequenciesThe Pt electrodeareawas nearly the size of theworking electrode about 4 cm2Fitting of the impedance spectra was made using ZsimpWinsoftware

TheLEISmeasurements were performed on coating spec-imens that immersed in 35 NaCl solution through a PARModel 370 Scanning Electrochemical Workstation Thus thetest solution for LEIS measurements was 0001MNaCl solu-tion The microprobe was stepped over a designated area ofthe electrode surface The scanning took the form of a rasterin 119909-119910 plane The step size was controlled to obtain a plotof 32 lines times 21 lines The AC disturbance signal was 100mVand the excitation frequency for impedance measurementswas fixed at 5 kHz All LEIS measurements were carried outat ambient temperature (sim22∘C) Each test was performed atleast twice to confirm the repeatability

3 Results and Discussion

31 Immersion Tests Figure 1 shows the corrosion microto-pography of a painted sample immersed in the solution of35 wt NaCl for 21 days As can be observed there was norust blister crack or flake that occurred on coating whichindicates that the coating has remarkable corrosion resistanceperformance

In Table 2 the comparison of the corrosion morphologybetween epoxy antirust paint and our paint in function ofthe time of exposure is representedThe result shows that thestudied coating achieved a good anticorrosive performanceAfter 24 hours exposure there was obvious rusting in scratch

of epoxy antirust coating but no change in the studiedcoating The scratch of the studied coating still did not haveapparent rust in 8 days exposure however serious corrosionwas found in epoxy antirust coating sample and even blister

From the above results the studied coating shows thefunction of inhibition to 35NaCl solution after immersionParticularly compared to epoxy antirust coating it is easyto see that the studied coating is provided with self-healingability This will be discussed in detail in the followingsections

32 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Figure 2 showsthe EIS diagrams corresponding to tests made on paintedsamples after being subjected to tests of different periods ofduration The data obtained demonstrate that in the first12 h of immersion interesting changes have taken place TheNyquist diagrams of the system in 1 h consisted of half acapacitive reactance arc of high frequency and a low fre-quency of capacitive reactance arc After 2 h those turnedinto a single capacitive arch There was a considerabledecrease of the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagramsof first 2 h and increase after 4 h In parallel a decreasewas observed in the modulus of the impedance in the Bodediagrams of first 2 h and increase after 4 hThis decrease in theimpedance suggests that during the first hours of immersionthere is an increase in the activity taking place in the systemin this period Figure 2(b) shows that the Nyquist diagramspresent a single capacitive arch and the arch increases contin-uously from 1 d to 21 d

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams corresponding to testsmade on samples of studied paint with scratch after beingsubjected to tests of different periods of durationTheNyquistdiagrams presented a single capacitive arch Being parallelto intact painted samples there was a considerable decreaseof the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagrams first andincreased then By contrast the Nyquist diagrams of epoxyantirust coatings with scratch (Figure 4) presented a singlecapacitive arch too but it decreased over time It is easy tosee that the modulus of the samples of studied coating withscratch in the Bode diagrams was inferior to that of epoxyantirust paint in initiation But after 8 days of immersioninversion has happened Figure 5 shows the phenomenonobviously It is in accordance with the result of immersion

In order to guarantee the poor surface preparation anda good anticorrosive performance of our paint many specificpigments are added in itThese specific pigments are chemicalactive so the modulus of coating is at a low levelThe specificpigment utilized in the formulation of the studied coating isaluminum triphosphate The mechanism of actuation of thiscompound has not been clearly established

In last decades phosphate-based pigments are frequentlyapplied in coatings to improve their corrosion resistance [19ndash22] When the water has penetrated into the coating thepigments based on phosphate anions can release phosphatesto form a protective layer on the metal substrate which canimpede the access of the aggressive species to the substratesurface [22 23] Particularly aluminum tripolyphosphatecould hydrolyze to produce H+ which could minimizethe hydroxyl production on the metal substrate and retardcathode disbanding to prolong the service life of organiccoatings [14]

At 1 h theNyquist diagrams of the systemconsisted of onehalf of capacitive arc at high frequencies and another half ofcapacitive arc at low frequencies The one at high frequenciescan be attributed to the reaction between water and the largeamount of aluminum triphosphate well dispersed in the coat-ing matrix The equivalent circuit shown in Figure 6(a) hasbeen selected to simulate the data of 1 h After 2 h of immer-sion as aluminum triphosphate continues to react withwaterdenser protective layer was formed which seal the conduitsfor water penetration and lead to an increase in barrierproperty of the coating As a result the Bode diagram of thesystem demonstrated only a single time constant as shown inFigure 2 For this reason the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(c)has been selected In the circuit 119877

between the working electrode and the reference electrodegenerally associated with the ohm resistance of the elec-trolyte119862dl and 119877119905 are related to double-layer capacitance andcharge-transfer resistance of the chemically active pigments

is the resistance of the pores and is a measure of the porosityas a consequence of the degradation of the coating

Study of the evolution of the diagrams of EIS with time ofimmersion enables an analysis to bemade about the variationof the protective capacity of painted samples In our casefrom the fit of the experimental diagrams to the equivalentcircuit proposed the values of the capacity 119876

119888 and of the

resistance 119877119888 associated with the layer of paint have been

calculated (Table 3) Figure 7 presents the evolution of theseparameters during the first 24 h of exposure In this figure itcan be observed how as the time of exposure is increased theresistance of the coating decreased first and then increasedIt is due to the anticorrosive performance of aluminum

tripolyphosphate that the number of defects in the coatingdecreases as protective layer forms In the first 2 h of expo-sure the capacity of coating increased because the waterpenetrates into the coating and the conductivity of thecoating increases However aluminum triphosphate releasesphosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrateto impede the access of the aggressive species and corrosionSo the conductivity is reduced and capacity is down

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams of our painted sampleswith scratch after being subjected to tests of different periodsof durationThe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitiveloop all the time There is a considerable decrease of the archthat appears in the Nyquist diagrams first and increases thenReason for this phenomenon is that aluminum triphosphate

Figure 6 Equivalent circuit representing the coating system

releases phosphates to form a protective layer on the metalsubstrate as the water enters from the defect In the begin-ning the reactions cause the decrease of arch of the Nyquistdiagrams and select the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(b)Along with immersion extension the protective layerbecomes compact and the arch increases For this reason theequivalent circuit of Figure 6(c) is selected (Table 4) Thereis a considerable increase of the capacity of the coating firstand then decrease Meanwhile the resistance of the coatingbehaves on the contrary (Figure 8)

For the epoxy antirust painted samples with scratchthe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitive arch too

(Figure 4) But plots from Bode diagrams show two timeconstants and the low frequency impedance was reduced astime extends because the water and aggressive ions diffuseon the substratecoating interface So the equivalent circuitof Figure 6(d) is selected (Table 5)

33 Localised Electrochemical Impedance Mapping As indi-cated in the LEIS projection of epoxy antirust coating(Figure 9) in initial stage of immersion the impedance valueat the defect was much lower than that of the adjacent intactcoating because of corrosion of bare metal in defect When

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate

of epoxy antirust coating but no change in the studiedcoating The scratch of the studied coating still did not haveapparent rust in 8 days exposure however serious corrosionwas found in epoxy antirust coating sample and even blister

From the above results the studied coating shows thefunction of inhibition to 35NaCl solution after immersionParticularly compared to epoxy antirust coating it is easyto see that the studied coating is provided with self-healingability This will be discussed in detail in the followingsections

32 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Figure 2 showsthe EIS diagrams corresponding to tests made on paintedsamples after being subjected to tests of different periods ofduration The data obtained demonstrate that in the first12 h of immersion interesting changes have taken place TheNyquist diagrams of the system in 1 h consisted of half acapacitive reactance arc of high frequency and a low fre-quency of capacitive reactance arc After 2 h those turnedinto a single capacitive arch There was a considerabledecrease of the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagramsof first 2 h and increase after 4 h In parallel a decreasewas observed in the modulus of the impedance in the Bodediagrams of first 2 h and increase after 4 hThis decrease in theimpedance suggests that during the first hours of immersionthere is an increase in the activity taking place in the systemin this period Figure 2(b) shows that the Nyquist diagramspresent a single capacitive arch and the arch increases contin-uously from 1 d to 21 d

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams corresponding to testsmade on samples of studied paint with scratch after beingsubjected to tests of different periods of durationTheNyquistdiagrams presented a single capacitive arch Being parallelto intact painted samples there was a considerable decreaseof the arch that appeared in the Nyquist diagrams first andincreased then By contrast the Nyquist diagrams of epoxyantirust coatings with scratch (Figure 4) presented a singlecapacitive arch too but it decreased over time It is easy tosee that the modulus of the samples of studied coating withscratch in the Bode diagrams was inferior to that of epoxyantirust paint in initiation But after 8 days of immersioninversion has happened Figure 5 shows the phenomenonobviously It is in accordance with the result of immersion

In order to guarantee the poor surface preparation anda good anticorrosive performance of our paint many specificpigments are added in itThese specific pigments are chemicalactive so the modulus of coating is at a low levelThe specificpigment utilized in the formulation of the studied coating isaluminum triphosphate The mechanism of actuation of thiscompound has not been clearly established

In last decades phosphate-based pigments are frequentlyapplied in coatings to improve their corrosion resistance [19ndash22] When the water has penetrated into the coating thepigments based on phosphate anions can release phosphatesto form a protective layer on the metal substrate which canimpede the access of the aggressive species to the substratesurface [22 23] Particularly aluminum tripolyphosphatecould hydrolyze to produce H+ which could minimizethe hydroxyl production on the metal substrate and retardcathode disbanding to prolong the service life of organiccoatings [14]

At 1 h theNyquist diagrams of the systemconsisted of onehalf of capacitive arc at high frequencies and another half ofcapacitive arc at low frequencies The one at high frequenciescan be attributed to the reaction between water and the largeamount of aluminum triphosphate well dispersed in the coat-ing matrix The equivalent circuit shown in Figure 6(a) hasbeen selected to simulate the data of 1 h After 2 h of immer-sion as aluminum triphosphate continues to react withwaterdenser protective layer was formed which seal the conduitsfor water penetration and lead to an increase in barrierproperty of the coating As a result the Bode diagram of thesystem demonstrated only a single time constant as shown inFigure 2 For this reason the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(c)has been selected In the circuit 119877

is the resistance of the pores and is a measure of the porosityas a consequence of the degradation of the coating

Study of the evolution of the diagrams of EIS with time ofimmersion enables an analysis to bemade about the variationof the protective capacity of painted samples In our casefrom the fit of the experimental diagrams to the equivalentcircuit proposed the values of the capacity 119876

119888 and of the

resistance 119877119888 associated with the layer of paint have been

calculated (Table 3) Figure 7 presents the evolution of theseparameters during the first 24 h of exposure In this figure itcan be observed how as the time of exposure is increased theresistance of the coating decreased first and then increasedIt is due to the anticorrosive performance of aluminum

tripolyphosphate that the number of defects in the coatingdecreases as protective layer forms In the first 2 h of expo-sure the capacity of coating increased because the waterpenetrates into the coating and the conductivity of thecoating increases However aluminum triphosphate releasesphosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrateto impede the access of the aggressive species and corrosionSo the conductivity is reduced and capacity is down

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams of our painted sampleswith scratch after being subjected to tests of different periodsof durationThe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitiveloop all the time There is a considerable decrease of the archthat appears in the Nyquist diagrams first and increases thenReason for this phenomenon is that aluminum triphosphate

Figure 6 Equivalent circuit representing the coating system

releases phosphates to form a protective layer on the metalsubstrate as the water enters from the defect In the begin-ning the reactions cause the decrease of arch of the Nyquistdiagrams and select the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(b)Along with immersion extension the protective layerbecomes compact and the arch increases For this reason theequivalent circuit of Figure 6(c) is selected (Table 4) Thereis a considerable increase of the capacity of the coating firstand then decrease Meanwhile the resistance of the coatingbehaves on the contrary (Figure 8)

For the epoxy antirust painted samples with scratchthe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitive arch too

(Figure 4) But plots from Bode diagrams show two timeconstants and the low frequency impedance was reduced astime extends because the water and aggressive ions diffuseon the substratecoating interface So the equivalent circuitof Figure 6(d) is selected (Table 5)

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate

is the resistance of the pores and is a measure of the porosityas a consequence of the degradation of the coating

Study of the evolution of the diagrams of EIS with time ofimmersion enables an analysis to bemade about the variationof the protective capacity of painted samples In our casefrom the fit of the experimental diagrams to the equivalentcircuit proposed the values of the capacity 119876

119888 and of the

resistance 119877119888 associated with the layer of paint have been

calculated (Table 3) Figure 7 presents the evolution of theseparameters during the first 24 h of exposure In this figure itcan be observed how as the time of exposure is increased theresistance of the coating decreased first and then increasedIt is due to the anticorrosive performance of aluminum

tripolyphosphate that the number of defects in the coatingdecreases as protective layer forms In the first 2 h of expo-sure the capacity of coating increased because the waterpenetrates into the coating and the conductivity of thecoating increases However aluminum triphosphate releasesphosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrateto impede the access of the aggressive species and corrosionSo the conductivity is reduced and capacity is down

Figure 3 shows the EIS diagrams of our painted sampleswith scratch after being subjected to tests of different periodsof durationThe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitiveloop all the time There is a considerable decrease of the archthat appears in the Nyquist diagrams first and increases thenReason for this phenomenon is that aluminum triphosphate

Figure 6 Equivalent circuit representing the coating system

releases phosphates to form a protective layer on the metalsubstrate as the water enters from the defect In the begin-ning the reactions cause the decrease of arch of the Nyquistdiagrams and select the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(b)Along with immersion extension the protective layerbecomes compact and the arch increases For this reason theequivalent circuit of Figure 6(c) is selected (Table 4) Thereis a considerable increase of the capacity of the coating firstand then decrease Meanwhile the resistance of the coatingbehaves on the contrary (Figure 8)

For the epoxy antirust painted samples with scratchthe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitive arch too

(Figure 4) But plots from Bode diagrams show two timeconstants and the low frequency impedance was reduced astime extends because the water and aggressive ions diffuseon the substratecoating interface So the equivalent circuitof Figure 6(d) is selected (Table 5)

33 Localised Electrochemical Impedance Mapping As indi-cated in the LEIS projection of epoxy antirust coating(Figure 9) in initial stage of immersion the impedance valueat the defect was much lower than that of the adjacent intactcoating because of corrosion of bare metal in defect When

Figure 6 Equivalent circuit representing the coating system

releases phosphates to form a protective layer on the metalsubstrate as the water enters from the defect In the begin-ning the reactions cause the decrease of arch of the Nyquistdiagrams and select the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(b)Along with immersion extension the protective layerbecomes compact and the arch increases For this reason theequivalent circuit of Figure 6(c) is selected (Table 4) Thereis a considerable increase of the capacity of the coating firstand then decrease Meanwhile the resistance of the coatingbehaves on the contrary (Figure 8)

For the epoxy antirust painted samples with scratchthe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitive arch too

(Figure 4) But plots from Bode diagrams show two timeconstants and the low frequency impedance was reduced astime extends because the water and aggressive ions diffuseon the substratecoating interface So the equivalent circuitof Figure 6(d) is selected (Table 5)

33 Localised Electrochemical Impedance Mapping As indi-cated in the LEIS projection of epoxy antirust coating(Figure 9) in initial stage of immersion the impedance valueat the defect was much lower than that of the adjacent intactcoating because of corrosion of bare metal in defect When

Figure 9 Time dependence of LEIS profiles and their projections of epoxy antirust painted samples

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate

Figure 6 Equivalent circuit representing the coating system

releases phosphates to form a protective layer on the metalsubstrate as the water enters from the defect In the begin-ning the reactions cause the decrease of arch of the Nyquistdiagrams and select the equivalent circuit of Figure 6(b)Along with immersion extension the protective layerbecomes compact and the arch increases For this reason theequivalent circuit of Figure 6(c) is selected (Table 4) Thereis a considerable increase of the capacity of the coating firstand then decrease Meanwhile the resistance of the coatingbehaves on the contrary (Figure 8)

For the epoxy antirust painted samples with scratchthe Nyquist diagrams present a single capacitive arch too

(Figure 4) But plots from Bode diagrams show two timeconstants and the low frequency impedance was reduced astime extends because the water and aggressive ions diffuseon the substratecoating interface So the equivalent circuitof Figure 6(d) is selected (Table 5)

Figure 9 Time dependence of LEIS profiles and their projections of epoxy antirust painted samples

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate

Figure 9 Time dependence of LEIS profiles and their projections of epoxy antirust painted samples

the immersion time extended the impedance in the adjacentcoating decreases which is attributed to permeation of corro-sive solution from the defect and the resultant disbanding ofcoating as observed visually after test and there are manyblisters around the defect (Figure 11)

The present work (Figure 10) shows that in contrast tothe impedance results measured on epoxy antirust coatingthe impedance value at the defect was not lower than that ofthe adjacent intact coating of studied coating sample all of theimmersion time Corresponding to results of electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy the impedance value of studiedcoating increased over time because the pigments based onphosphate anions can release phosphates to form a protectivelayer on the metal substrate which can impede the accessof the aggressive species to the substrate surface The resultsof LEIS show that the studied coatings presented better self-healing and anticorrosive feature

4 Conclusions

The behavior in conditions of total immersion of an acrylicwater-based paint applied to rusty steel has been studiedusing electrochemical techniques The set of data obtainedhas enabled a mechanism for the anticorrosive performanceof the coating

This coating had a good anticorrosive performance After21 days of total immersion there was no rust blister crackor flake that occurred on coating Compared to the epoxyantirust painted samples the studied coatings exhibited bet-ter self-healing and anticorrosive feature The electrochem-ical results show that the specific pigments utilized in theformulation of the paint studied caused the electrochemicalactivity of the coatingWhen thewater has penetrated into thecoating the pigments based on phosphate anions can releasephosphates to form a protective layer on the metal substrate
