Abstract

Zn/Ni nanocomposite coating on Stainless Steel (SS) was prepared by Sol-Gel method. The prepared nanocomposite was used to coating on the stainless steel (SS) by doctor’s plate coating method. The corrosion study was done by using the prepared Zn/Ni nanocomposite. The analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) was made in 3.5% NaCl solution (neutral) and also on the HCl solution (acid). The Characterization of the Zn/Ni nanocomposite was carried out in XRD, SEM, FTIR, XRF and so on. XRD reveals the Zn/Ni nanocomposite with an average crystallite size of 17 nm. The Electrochemical impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) confirms that the corrosion resistance was enhanced for the Zn/Ni nanocomposite coated Stainless Steel (SS) in compared with the bare Stainless Steel (SS) plate. Thus the prepared Zn/Ni nanocomposite will be used as a corrosion inhibitor in various industries.
