Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of Ni and Ni–ZrO2 composite coatings was studied. Investigation of corroded surfaces showed that the cluster boundaries in pure Ni and weak bonds between Ni matrix and ZrO2 particles in Ni–ZrO2 composite coating are the appropriate paths for corrosion to proceed. An equivalent circuit diagram based on blocked and partially corroded surface characterisations was proposed, and good agreement was observed between theoretical impedance spectra obtained on the basis of the equivalent circuit and spectra recorded during the measurements. Changes of microstructure and corrosion proceeding paths were recognised as the reasons for the higher corrosion resistance of Ni–ZrO2 with respect to pure Ni.Keywords
