Abstract

Zinc/ Titania nanocomposite prepared by Sonication assisted Solid state reaction method. The prepared Zn/Ti nanocomposite has been employed to improve the corrosion resistance behavior of Mild Steels (MS) which are mostly used in sugarcane and paper making industries. The physiochemical characteristics of the prepared Zn/Ti nanocomposite were evaluated by various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and so on. The improvement of corrosion resistance of mild steel plate has been evaluated by Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV). As from the obtained results, Corrosion resistance behavior of MS has been improved 85% by the prepared Zn/Ti nanocomposite coating on it. Thus the prepared Zn/Ti nanocomposite could be a potential candidate as corrosion inhibitor in various industries.
