dc.description.abstractBIS 2062-grade carbon steel is extensively used for fishing boat construction. The steel is highly susceptible to corrosion on the hull and welding joints under marine environment. Here, we demonstrate the application of a novel multifunctional nano-metal-oxide mixture comprised of iron, titanium, and cerium as a marine coating to prevent corrosion. The electrochemical performance of nano-metal-oxide mixture coatings, applied over boat-building steel, was evaluated at 3.5% NaCl medium. The nano-mixture surface coatings showed an efficient corrosion resistance with increased polarization resistance of 6043 Ω cm2 and low corrosion current density of 3.53 × 10−6 A cm−2. The electrochemical impedance spectral data exhibited improvement in the polarization resistance of outermost surface and internal layers. The coating responded faster recovery to normal state when subjected to an induced stress over the coating. The nano-material in the coating behaves as a semiconductor; this enhanced electronic activity over the surface of the steel.en_US
