Abstract
Phosphate ion containing acidic polyphenol coating solutions were developed as to mitigate the deleterious effect of corrosion on galvannealed iron surface. The influence of manganese sulphate, manganese phosphate and polyethylene wax in polyphenol coatings were investigated to reduce the powdering of complex-shaped galvannealed structures and corrosion effect. Moreover, the reactivity of coating at the surface was evaluated by glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Low surface integration within 3.5% NaCl environment and frictional behaviour was achieved with 0.5% manganese phosphate in polyphenol coated coupon by electrochemical and mechanical testing respectively.
