Abstract

Effect of surface roughness on corrosion behavior for carbon steel was coated by metallic layers Cu- Ni Reinforced with Gr layers. Surface finishing P320, P600 and P1200 mesh used until a mirror shiny surface before metallic coated with Gr layers at consecrations 0.25, 0.5, 1and 2 g/l of Gr. First, X-ray diffraction), electron microscopy associated for carbon steel & Gr and Microscopic test for coated specimens. The techniques were performed to study the effect of saline water (3.5%) on the corrosion behaviors, Open circuit potential, Tafel polarization and impedance spectroscopy tests. At P320 Equivalent Circuit elements were decreasing but, Corrosion reaction’s Rp was increased at 5 min and 0.25 g/l. And also, coating’s Rpore with Electrolyte’s Ru were increasing at 30 min for 0.5 g/l, and also coating’s Rpore and Electrolyte’s Ru were increased at 20 min for 1 g/l, At P600 ECE’s were decreasing but, corrosion reaction’s Rp was increased at 30 min 1 g/l, and also, coating’s Rpore and Electrolyte’s Ru were increased at 20 min for 1 g/l, and At P1200 ECE’s were decreasing but, Coating’s Ccoat was increased at 5 min 0.25 g/l, and also coating’s Rpore and Electrolyte’s Ru were increased at 0.5g/l, 30 min.
