- Abstract
Coatings are commonly believed to protect metal surfaces from corrosion based on some combination of their barrier properties and electrochemical properties. Various physical and electrochemical tests were performed on seven different coatings (latex, alkyd, 2-PK epoxy, and electrocoat) to determine which properties were the main determinants of corrosion resistance in continuous and cyclic corrosion tests. Physical property tests and AC electrochemical tests were all related to barrier behavior, while DC electrochemical tests were related to electrochemical behavior. DC electrochemical properties are commonly associated with inhibitor chemistry, but can be broadly related to all components of the paint. These test results were compared with corrosion test results from both continuous (B-117) and cyclic (GM9540) accelerated tests. The best correlation was seen with a model emphasizing barrier behavior with a secondary component relating to electrochemical protection.
