Abstract  In order to improve the corrosion resistance of chromium-free Zn/Al coating, three different nanoparticles, eg. SiO2, TiO2 and ZnO were added in the coating respectively to form nanocomposite coatings. Corrosion properties of the nanocomposite coatings were examined through salt water immersion method and electrochemical method. Furthermore, the microstructure and corrosion products of the coatings were analyzed by means of SEM and EDS. The experimental results showed that the nanoparticles dispersed in the coating in the form of flake structure which formed a more effective physical shield, extending the path of the corrosive medium to substrate. Furthermore, the fine grain strengthening was dominant to make the coating a good shielding property when nanoparticle was added. Tafel curves indicated that the nanocomposite coating with SiO2 possessed the best cathodic protection among three nanocomposite coatings, and the corrosion resistance of three nanocomposie coatings was better than that of the chromium-free Zn/Al coating.
Key words:  Cr-free      nanocomposite coating      corrosion resistance      cathodic protection
