The Hydrophobic Surface Prepared by Sandblasting-Electroplating on Carbon Steel

Abstract

A sandblasting-electroplating method was used to prepare the microstructure with hydrophobic properties on the surface of carbon steel. Under the optimum process parameters, a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle of 149.3°±2.5° was obtained. The results showed that, the surface composite structure constructed with the sandblasting-electroplating bonding process has excellent hydrophobic properties.
