Abstract

ASTM A194 steel is one of the standard steels used in the manufacture of steel nuts used in high temperature and pressure conditions in the oil and gas industry. In this study, the effect of polyurea coating on improving the corrosion resistance of this alloy and the effect of Ag nanoparticles on the corrosion properties of polyurea coating in 3.5% sodium chloride solution was investigated. Corrosion resistance of the samples was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization test. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were used to qualitatively evaluate the surface of the samples coated with polyurea and Ag nanoparticles. The obtained results showed that applying polyurea coating on ASTM A194 steel improved its corrosion resistance significantly. It was also found that addition of Ag nanoparticles had a positive effect on the protective properties of polyurea coating. The results of potentiodynamic polarization tests showed that adding silver nanoparticles to the polyurea coating improved the protective behavior of the coating in the short and long term. This improvement in corrosion behavior can be attributed to the barrier properties and chemical properties of silver nanoparticles in contact with destructive species present in corrosive electrolytes.
