Abstract
This study investigates the corrosion mechanism of carbon steel beneath zinc-rich coating (ZRC) defects to understand the mutual interference of carbon steel in atmospheric environments. First, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was conducted to determine the self-corrosion behavior of carbon steel under ZRC defects. Subsequently, a macrocell current tests were conducted under immersion and wet–dry environments to evaluate the electrochemical interaction effects at the location of coating defects. The results indicate that the electrochemical interactions between the ZRC defects are influenced by the sacrificial anode effect of Zn. Further, the interaction mechanisms between the steel substrates beneath the organic and inorganic ZRC defects were analyzed. The findings provide deeper insight into the behavior of steel structures in atmospheric environments, offering potential improvements in the design of protective coatings for infrastructure longevity.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
