Abstract  

A superhydrophobic surface film on Q235 steel substrate was prepared by chemical etching and then applying a film with low energy. The surface roughness and wettability of the steel prepared by chemical etching were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and contact angle measuring instrument. The concentration of nitric acid in the etching liquid plays a major role for the surface roughness of the steel. With the increase of the nitric acid concentration in the etching solution, the surface roughness of the steel increased in the beginning stage and then decreased. Among others, the steel surface etched with 20%(mass fraction) HNO3 is the best for further processing. Then the superhydrophobic surface film was then fabricated by applying the low surface energy film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on the chemical etched steel. The result revealed that the as-prepared superhydrophobic surface exhibits a contact angle of 163° and excellent corrosion resistance in 3.5%NaCl solution, which may be attributed to the synergistic effect of an air film on the superhydrophobic surface, the PDMS film itself and the hydrophobic steel surface.

Key words:  etching      roughness      PDMS      superhydrophobic surface      corrosion protection
