Abstract
Graphene, the recently discovered allotrope of carbon, comprising one layer of carbon atoms, has distinctive properties mainly attributed to its 2D hexagonal structure. It is 200 times rigid than steel and lighter than paper. Graphen based materials have potential for application in the field of protective coating. Protecting metal’s surface against corrosion and leaks can be done by many techniques but coating is the method of choice due to its simplicity and low cost. Corrosion protection of metals is of immense importance due to their widespread use. Graphene has shown tremendous corrosion resistance as a coating material; however, its high strengthening effect is suppressed in coating applications. In this study, homegrown graphene was produced by cryogenic milling of soft graphite and applied in different weight percentages of coatings on copper plates and after 30 days salt bath testing corrosion properties were determined. It was found that the coating's resistance to corrosion under salt soaking conditions is greatly increased when a modest amount of graphene (or fine graphite particles) by weight is added.
