Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Silicate-based films were obtained on API 5L X80 pipeline steel.•Silicon was present mainly as SiO2 on the anodic treatment film.•Corrosion resistance depends on the silica concentration in the fil.•Anodic treatment provided superior corrosion resistance. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of silicate-based films on the corrosion resistance of the API 5L X80 steel in carbonate-bicarbonate solution at room temperature. The films were electrochemically obtained by anodic and cathodic treatments and by immersion in 1.0 M sodium metasilicate solution. The corrosion behavior was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization. Film morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Adhesion strength was measured by pull-off tests. The chemical composition was evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The anodic film yielded the best corrosion resistance (protection efficiency 83%). The protection mechanism is discussed.
