Abstract

The study investigates the effects of Bonny Island Sailt water on Mechanical Properties of Salt water with emphasis on effectiveness of corrosion prevention methods, specifically nickel electroplating, powder coating, and zinc electroplating, in protecting automotive systems from corrosive environments. Despite its thin coating, nickel electroplating exhibited the highest hardness value and demonstrated superior corrosion resistance in immersion tests, with significantly lower corrosion rates compared to other coatings. Conversely, powder coating, despite having the lowest hardness value, displayed a lower corrosion rate than zinc electroplating, indicating its efficacy as a corrosion prevention method. Tensile tests revealed that mechanical properties such as yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were influenced by specimen preparation and corrosion occurrence. Coated specimens showed varying mechanical properties, with nickel electroplated specimens exhibiting the highest values. Natural water immersion resulted in lower mechanical properties compared to saltwater immersion, suggesting a faster corrosion rate in natural water. Additionally, the study investigates the corrosion resistance of HVOF-coated steels with different compositions. Results indicate that both coatings enhance corrosion resistance compared to untreated steel, with the WC+10%Co+4%Cr coating showing superior performance. These findings suggest that incorporating chromium into the coating composition can significantly improve corrosion resistance in HVOF-coated steels, thus providing effective corrosion prevention in automotive systems exposed to corrosive environments such as Bonny salt water.
