摘要

Zn-W coatings (W = 2, 4, 6, 9 wt.%) were electrodeposited onto mild steel to investigate coating’s corrosion resistance and hydrogen permeation behavior. The Zn-2 wt.% W coating exhibited highest resistance to hydrogen permeation (saturated permeation current = 0.71 μA/cm2) and corrosion (corrosion rate = 5.28 μA/cm2) due to relatively passive Zn-W solid solution phase and low coating strain. Zn-6 wt.% W coatings offered least resistance to hydrogen permeation (saturated permeation current = 5.47 μA/cm2) and corrosion (corrosion rate = 44.25 μA/cm2) because of evolution of W-enriched clusters within Zn matrix which induced galvanic coupling and facilitated hydrogen diffusion through the heterophase interface.
