Abstract  

Conductive anticorrosion coatings were prepared with high viscosity acrylic resin as matrix, Ni- powder and defoamer etc. as additives, and then applied on 20# carbon steel. The electrical conductivity and the anti-corrosion performance in simulated seawater of the coatings with different Ni-powder content were characterized by means of surface contact resistance measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy respectively. Results show that with the increasing amount of Ni-powder, the electrical conductivity of the coatings increased. While, as the longer of the immersion time and the higher amount of the Ni-powder are, the lower of the capacitive reactance arc, the impedance, the phase angle and |Z |0.05 of the coatings are. For a desired immersion time, the higher amount of the Ni-powder is, the faster decline of the capacitive reactance arc, the impedance, the phase angle and the |Z |0.05 of the coatings is. According to Tafel polarization result, the higher amount of the Ni-powder is, the greater of the corrosion current of coatings is. It is concluded that with the higher amount of Ni-powder, the coatings exhibit better electrical conductivity, but the lower of the viscosity and worse corrosion resistance. A coating with about 20% Ni-powder possesses a comprehensive performance with better electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
