DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL CORROSION RESISTANT ELECTROLESS NI-P COMPOSITE COATINGS FOR PIPELINE STEEL

In order to enhance protective property of electroless Nickel coating, we made electroless Ni-P composite coatings using titanium and Graphene. The corrosion resistance of each coated sample was measured using polarisation methods and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and compared to the Ni-P sample. Their surface morphology and chemical composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). The objective of this study was to investigate the suitability of applying electroless Ni-P composite coating in the oil and gas industry by characterizing its corrosion behavior. The suitability of applying electroless Ni-P composite coatings in the oil industry was assessed.
